Zamfara: ADC tells Tinubu steps to take over N56m tax by bandits

The African Democratic Congress, ADC, has declared that it’s not interested in President Bola Tinubu’s resignation amid the heightened insecurity in Zamfara State.

ADC said Tinubu should carry out his duty of protecting the lives and properties of the people of Zamfara State and the country at large.

The spokesman of ADC, Bolaji Abdullahi gave the call while condemning Tinubu’s administration following reports of bandits taxing farmers N56m million in communities of Zamfara State.

In a statement he signed, Abdullahi said the insecurity challenge which Tinubu used as a campaign tool has exponentially increased since he came into office.

Abdullahi called on the Nigerian government to intervene and restore order in Zamfara State.

He said: “No one is calling on him to resign. The ADC does not want President Tinubu to resign.

“We only ask him to do his job.  We also ask the pertinent question, why did the President think that the security situation in Rivers State warranted the declaration of state of emergency, but the one in Zamfara with industrial scale kidnapping and a direct challenge to the authority of the Nigerian State by way of bandit tax does not even deserve a direct comment from him?

“We will like to urge President Tinubu to drop whatever else that pre-occupies him and direct his attention to Zamfara State and other parts of the country menaced by bandits.”
