Bilyaminu Yusuf Shinkafi, the African Democratic Congress governorship candidate for Zamfara State, has emphasized that the region cannot flourish when its inhabitants are living in a state of insecurity. In a statement released on Thursday in Gusau, Shinkafi highlighted the disruptive impact of insecurity on communities, leading to the displacement of families and deterring farmers from their fields.
He firmly positioned security as the cornerstone of his proposed administration, stating, "My commitment is clear: security will be the foundation of our government."
Shinkafi identified several challenges facing Zamfara, including poverty, inadequate education, poor healthcare, and limited economic opportunities. His administration, he promised, would prioritize enhancing the quality of education, ensuring access to healthcare, strengthening security, and providing support for farmers, alongside creating jobs, skill development, and opportunities for the youth.
He reiterated that public resources should serve the people and that development must be equitable, reaching every corner of the state.
Furthermore, Shinkafi called upon political parties, candidates, and their supporters to ensure a peaceful and issue-based 2027 election campaign. He urged them to engage in debates about ideas, programs, and records rather than resorting to personal attacks. Shinkafi emphasized the importance of competing vigorously while respecting one another, reminding the electorate that Zamfara is greater than any individual political party or candidate.
