He recalled that Zamfara has faced persistent security challenges for over a decade, with many communities affected and economic activities disrupted. 

However, he expressed confidence that the governor’s decision to join the APC would strengthen collaboration with the Federal Government in addressing insecurity and other socio-economic issues.

According to him, Governor Lawal remains committed to restoring peace and stability through intelligence-driven strategies, improved technology, and stronger cooperation with security agencies.

The committee chairman also emphasized the importance of unity among political leaders in the state, noting that the governor’s alignment with key stakeholders signals a collective resolve to tackle insecurity and promote development.

He urged all invited guests, particularly youths from across the 14 local government areas, to conduct themselves responsibly during the event.


Lawal Gabdon Kaura reiterated the governor’s directive that no one should attend the venue with weapons, including knives or sticks, warning that such actions would not be tolerated.

He added that the administration is prioritizing youth development as part of efforts to promote discipline, peace, and productive engagement in society.

The committee further called on the media to continue to inform and educate the public responsibly, while urging citizens to participate peacefully and constructively.

Kaura stressed that the event represents the beginning of a new chapter in the state’s history.

“A new chapter is about to begin—one where security is prioritized, governance is responsive, and the future is assured,” he said.
