Zamfara State Governor Dauda Lawal has stated that he is prepared for the rerun election that the Court of Appeal ordered in a recent ruling. He has also emphasised that the opposition is jealous of the advancements he has brought about in the state in his first five months in office and that they will not stop him from bringing about more advancements.
Speaking to his supporters on Monday at the party’s Gusau secretariat, Lawal said that God had appointed him to the job of governor and that he would hold it regardless of how much “hypocrisy” the opposition displayed.

The governor expressed hope that he would still merge victorious at the rerun election and urged Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) supporters in the state to maintain composure and abide by the law.
He thanked PDP members for their prayers, which he claimed had given him greater zeal to lead state affairs. He also thanked them for their support.
After ruling in favour of former governor Bello Matawalle of the All Progressives Congress (APC), the Court of Appeal cancelled the Zamfara state governorship election and ordered a rerun in three local governments: Maradun, Birnin-Magaji, and Bukkuyum.
