The Centre for Democracy and Development (CDD) has urged President Bola Tinubu to declare a six-month state of emergency in Zamfara. The group claims political instability and economic challenges are worsening under Governor Dauda Lawal’s leadership.

At a press briefing on Monday, CDD convener Ibrahim Yakubu criticized the suspension of 10 lawmakers for over a year. He argued that this move weakened governance and denied residents proper representation. Yakubu also condemned the suspension of eight other lawmakers who spoke out against insecurity. According to him, these actions created fear and undermined democracy.

CDD described these decisions as an “abuse of power.” The group called for a more inclusive and transparent approach to governance. It also raised concerns about illegal mining, linking it to economic instability and insecurity in the state.

Illegal Mining and Economic Exploitation

The organization accused the state government of ignoring illegal mining. It claimed influential individuals were profiting while local communities suffered. CDD stressed that failure to regulate the sector had worsened insecurity.

The group urged the federal government to investigate these activities. Yakubu emphasized that better resource management could bring stability and economic benefits. He called for stricter policies to protect Zamfara’s wealth for its people.

Call for Immediate Federal Intervention

CDD warned that the crisis in Zamfara could spread if ignored. The group urged President Tinubu to act before the situation worsens.

“A six-month emergency period is necessary to restore order and create a foundation for inclusive governance and economic recovery,” Yakubu stated.

He insisted that strong leadership was needed to secure state assets and hold officials accountable. The group demanded urgent reforms that prioritize citizens’ needs.

“The time for half-measures is over. Leaders must take bold steps to protect the rights and well-being of the people,” Yakubu emphasized.

CDD also called for democratic reforms, urging leaders to promote dialogue, accountability, and fair governance.

With growing concerns over security and governance, all eyes are now on the federal government. Will it take emergency action or seek alternative solutions?
