Emergency Rule: Marafa Is Being Mischevious And Envious- Zamfara Gov't

Zamfara State has fired back at the senator representing Zamfara central in the Senate Kabir Marafa over his recent call for the removal of Abdulaziz Yari as the executive governor of the state.

Zamfara State has fired back at the senator representing Zamfara central in the Senate Kabir Marafa over his recent call for the removal of  Abdulaziz Yari as the executive governor of the state.

Senator Marafa had earlier clamored for the removal of governor Yari when he raised a point of order at the plenary of the Senate calling for the adoption of former president Olusegun Obasanjo's approach in addressing the killings in the state.
 
But in their reaction to the statement, the state government through the commissioner for Information, Culture, and Tourism Alhaji Sanda Muhammad Danjari Kwatarkwashi said for Senator Marafa to make such calls he was only being mischievous and envious.
 
"As for the clamor for emergency rule in the state by Senator Marafa we are at lost as to what his motives actually are. He has unlimited access to governor Yari why can't go and advice him. Senator Marafa did not even find it expedient to go and condole with the people there," he added.
 
Alhaji Danjari further said that after the recent unfortunate killings in Bawar Daji village governor Yari has directed that any civilian caught wielding rifle illegally should be shot at sight and that was part of the numerous measures taken by the state government to ensure that peace has returned to the state.
 
"Our simple assessment is that Marafa is up for mischief against governor Yari and is envious of the position Almighty Allah has bestowed on governor Yari. Marafa is on a race against time. The people of the state are waiting for him to come and test his popularity in 2019," he added.
