Zamfara LP Deputy Governorship Candidate Pledges to Address Humanitarian Crisis
By Yusuf Gwandu
The Labour Party Deputy Governorship Candidate in Zamfara State, Asmau Sani, has pledged that the party will prioritise addressing the humanitarian crisis affecting women and children in the state as a result of insecurity.
Asmau, the only female deputy governorship candidate in the state, made the pledge during an interview with Channels Television in Gusau on Saturday.
She said her experience as a woman and a mother had exposed her to the challenges facing women and children in Zamfara, particularly those affected by insecurity.
“I am a humanitarian. I know the challenges faced by women and children as a result of insecurity, and being the only female deputy governorship candidate, I feel the courage to change the narrative,” she said.
Asmau expressed confidence in her competence for the position, noting that she ventured into politics several years ago and previously served as the Labour Party’s women leader.
“I am competent for the position. I ventured into politics some years back. I was the women leader of the Labour Party, and the women of Zamfara State know my capabilities and what I can do,” she added.
On the party’s manifesto, she said the Labour Party, if elected, would focus on promoting girl-child education, empowering women and addressing the security challenges bedevilling the state.
She called on the people of Zamfara State to vote for Yusuf DanMasanin Gusau, the party’s governorship candidate, and herself as his running mate, saying the duo would provide purposeful leadership for the state.
