2027: Zamfara Dep Gov Candidate Pledges Support For Women, Children

The Labour Party’s deputy governorship candidate in Zamfara State, Asmau Sani, has pledged that the party will prioritise addressing the humanitarian crisis affecting women and children in the state amid persistent insecurity.

Sani, the only female deputy governorship candidate in the state, made the pledge during an interview with Channels Television in Gusau on Saturday.

She said her experiences as a woman and mother had exposed her to the challenges facing women and children in Zamfara, particularly those displaced or affected by insecurity.

“I am a humanitarian. I know the challenges faced by women and children as a result of insecurity, and being the only female deputy governorship candidate, I feel the courage to change the narrative,” she said.

Expressing confidence in her ability to serve as deputy governor, Sani said she had been involved in politics for several years and previously served as the Labour Party’s women leader.

“I am competent for the position. I ventured into politics some years back. I was the women leader of the Labour Party, and the women of Zamfara State know my capabilities and what I can do,” she added.

Speaking on the party’s manifesto, she said the Labour Party, if elected, would focus on promoting girl-child education, empowering women and tackling the security challenges confronting the state.

She urged residents of Zamfara to vote for the party’s governorship candidate, Yusuf DanMasanin Gusau, and herself as his running mate, expressing confidence that they would provide purposeful leadership for the state.
