A coalition, the Centre for Democracy and Development, has condemned the alleged anti-democratic actions of Zamfara State Governor, Dauda Lawal, and his administration’s lawlessness against members of the House of Assembly.

The group, in a press conference held in Abuja, called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to declare a state of emergency in Zamfara State for a minimum of six months.

According to its convener, Ibrahim Yakubu, Governor Lawal’s actions have plunged the state into economic sabotage, anarchy, and instability.

The group cited the suspension of 10 members of the Zamfara State House of Assembly for 13 months, simply for expressing concerns about the state’s security situation.

This, the coalition argued, has crippled the legislative chamber and denied the people of Zamfara effective representation.

The coalition also accused Governor Lawal of authoritarianism, citing his directive to suspend eight members of the House who raised concerns about the worsening security crisis. The group described this as a clear abuse of power and an attack on democracy.

Furthermore, the coalition condemned Governor Lawal’s alleged complicity in illegal mining activities in the state, which has led to the exploitation of Zamfara’s gold reserves.

“In light of these hideous violations, It is time for President Bola Tinubu to take action before it is too late. A state of emergency must be declared in Zamfara now,” the statement added.

“A six-month emergency period is necessary to restore order, dismantle the networks of political and economic terrorists, and pave the way for a return to democratic governance.

“This is not a call made lightly; it is a demand born out of necessity, as the current trajectory threatens not only Zamfara but the entire nation. The good people of Zamfara deserve leadership that upholds the rule of law, prioritizes security, and safeguards national resources.

“Additionally, We implore Mr. President to use every resource and tool at his disposal to handle the crisis in Zamfara.

“The federal government must take swift action in order to secure the state resources, defend people’s lives and livelihoods, and hold those culpable for the current situation accountable. The time for Half-measures and false promises are no longer an option; strong, quick action is now required.

“It is evident that Governor Dauda Lawal’s tenure has been an unmitigated disaster, a relentless assault on democracy, a blatant disregard for the rule of law, and a shocking indifference to the suffering of the people he was elected to serve.

“He has desecrated democratic institutions, fostered political terrorism, refused to tackle insecurity, and enabled the looting of Zamfara’s wealth. No doubt, he has failed in his responsibilities, and he can no longer remain in office. Nigeria deserves better.”
