From Ibrahim Kaulahi, Gusau
Zamfara Assembly has in totality condemned what it described as purported plan to demoralize Zamfara government efforts of addressing security challenges by some people in the name of peace accord for their own political interest.
The Assembly has debated and criticized purported plans by some unpatriotic people who are currently going round some parts of the state trying to cause obstacles to the efforts embarked upon by the present Dauda Lawal-led administration of addressing security challenges that bedeviled the state.

He called on the honourable house to immediately draw the attention of both the state and federal governments as well as relevant security agencies to take serious action against such a group of people for their negotiating with bandits in the state.
In their separate contributions during the sitting, honorable members have totally condemned such attitude describing it as sabotage to the administration of Dauda Lawal’s effort of addressing insecurity affecting the state.
