We have made adequate arrangements for credible LG election in Zamfara – State govt

The Zamfara State Government said it has made all necessary arrangements to conduct a local government election by August 2024 to enable the Councils to collect their allocations.
Addressing newsmen at the state house in Gusau, the Senior Special Assistant, SSA on Communication and Mobilization, Farouk Rijiya said the PDP-led government in the state was filling some gaps within the party.
“Zamfara State Government supports the Supreme Court verdict on Local Government autonomy as it will attract more development”, he added.
He said the government would ensure a perfect and credible local government election in the state and that the party would fill all the vacant positions of the party leadership.
These include three delegates across 147 wards of the state and one national officer each, apart from some key positions at the state level that were in acting capacity.
He further said the national leadership of the party had authorized the state leadership to fill all the vacant positions by selection instead of a mini congress that is expected to be held.
“Now, we are waiting for the arrival of the Chief Executive of the State, Governor Dauda Lawal to carry out the task before notifying the national leadership for permission on the local government election preparation”
