From John Bassey, Gusau
Hajiya Asma’u Sani Mainafiya, the Deputy Governorship candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in Zamfara State, has stated that the state deserves a leadership that makes a mark rather than hiding under excuses, a leadership that cares for the immediate needs of the state, and a dependable leadership with the capacity to build the people’s confidence with the assurance of a greater and brighter future.
She assured that her Governorship candidate, Alhaji Yusuf Danmasani, and she are the leadership Zamfarawa need in 2027.
She declared this on Saturday while speaking to a group of journalists who visited her office in the Tudun Wada area of Gusau, the state capital.
She added that being a successful listener, a dependable confidant, and a caretaker of her family as a mother and wife gave her the courage to seek the leadership position in Zamfara State, as the state currently deserves a leadership that listens to the cries, complaints and worries of the people.
In her words, the Deputy Governorship candidate said Zamfarawa need a trusted leadership with a good antecedent and greater prospects, not a leadership that makes pledges and hides under excuses.
“Trust is earned by making a mark, such that touches the major interest of the people with the aim of giving them the lasting future, assurance of hope and peace that they deserve. Labour Party will make this possible,” she said.
“I and my Governor are coming out for the people of Zamfara State based on our past records. We are coming as a leadership that Zamfara people can trust, build confidence upon and hope in us to lead the state to that greater and brighter future they deserve.
“As a woman, if my party is elected, I pledge to undertake several interventions that will enhance better living and better welfare, with the aim of securing a greater future for women and children in the state.”
Hajiya Asma’u Sani pledged to secure the educational well-being of women and build more women leaders with the confidence and mental ability to participate in state building.
“I am seeing a future where women will participate in all areas in Zamfara and work for the interest of the state, a future where women would no longer be seen as not being able to handle one responsibility or the other, and a future where women would fully participate in the activities of the state. That future can only be possible with Labour Party.
“Considering the current state of insecurity in Zamfara, women are the most vulnerable. Visiting the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) camps in some areas within the state, and also some communities facing the scourge of banditry, we have seen women being left as the only dependable source of livelihood for the children, who are the future of the state.
“If elected, our leadership will secure the fatherless children and the orphans by giving them scholarships and engaging the widows in useful activities that will secure economic growth for the well-being of their families and the state.
“We will provide low-cost shelter and secure their moral dignity. Our government will provide safety for IDPs and widows, giving them access to education and business opportunities for the overall interest of the state.
“Being the only woman Deputy Governorship candidate in Zamfara gives me an opportunity to build confidence in other women and motivate them to partner with their male counterparts in contributing to the development of Zamfara State.
“I am fully ready to work for the women and children of Zamfara State and support them, not just within Nigeria but in all parts of the world, if Labour Party is elected in the 2027 general elections.
“I call on the good people of Zamfara State to come out en masse and vote for all candidates of Labour Party for a better, prosperous and secured future of the state.”
