The Zamfara chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) will resume its governorship campaign rally for the 2023 general elections on Wednesday after a two-week break.

The gubernatorial campaign council, led by ex-Governor Abdul’aziz Yari, commenced electioneering on December 27, 2022, in Kaura-Namoda, Zamfara North senatorial district.

So far, the campaign council for Governor Bello Matawalle’s second term bid has visited six of the 14 local councils.

Speaking at a news briefing on Tuesday in Gusau, the spokesperson for the council, Ibrahim Danmalikin-Gidangoga, said the campaign train would visit the Shinkafi council area on Wednesday.

“On Thursday, we will visit Gummi LGA. We are going to spend a night, after which we will move to Bukkuyum LGA on Friday,” he said.

Mr Danmalikin-Gidangoga said the party was satisfied with the large turnout of APC supporters during the previous campaigns.

“That indicates the level of APC strength in the state. It has shown that the APC remained the strongest political party. I am using this opportunity to caution politicians against using security challenges to campaign against the APC-led administration,” Mr Danmalikin-Gidangoga added.

He commended the state Anti-thuggery committee for what he described as ”a good step in addressing political violence in the state.”
