Zamfara Re-run: APC calls for calm

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has called for calm, ahead of Saturday’s Zamfara Central, Gusau/Tsafe and Bukkuyum/Gummi federal constituencies rerun polls.

The state APC Publicity Secretary, Malam Yusuf Idris, who made the call on Thursday in Gusau, urged the electorate across the state to turnout enmasse and vote for APC candidates in the rerun.

“We also wish to commend the good people of Zamfara especially members of the APC for being law abiding.

“We are appealing to them to come out enmasse and vote massively for the success of the APC candidates on the rerun poll,” he said.

Idris expressed sadness over the wanton destruction of property, after hoodlums hijacked the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) celebrations following its victory in the March 18 governorship election.

“Property worth millions of naira were destroyed and stolen by hoodlums at the APC offices and private houses of APC members in the state capital, Gusau.

“As a law abiding party, we are encouraging the police and other security agencies to carryout their constitutional duties to maintain law and order before, during and after the rerun, ” he said.
