Gov. Masari inaugurates N1.4bn new Zamfara Assembly complex

Gov. Aminu Masari of Katsina State on Wednesday inaugurated the new ultra modern Zamfara State House of Assembly complex constructed at the cost of over N1.4 billion.
The new edifice comprised administrative block, House Chamber, committee rooms, restaurant, filling station, clinic, mosque and perimeter fence.
Masari who was the special guest for the event held in Gusau, urged people of Zamfara to rally round the state administration for more development projects.
He also urged people in the North West to contribute to ending the security challenges in the region.
“The threats posed by insecurity in our region requires all hands to be on deck, because both Hausa and Fulani speakers are strongly related.
“If we don’t come together to live in peace and harmony, we will end up destroying our homes and communities ourselves,” Masari cautioned.
He assured that governors in the zone would continue to evolve ways of addressing security issues, until peace is achieved.
In his speech, Gov. Bello Matawalle of Zamfara said the state assembly complex was initiated and executed by his administration at the cost of N1.4 billion.
“With these structures put in place, our honourable members of the State House of Assembly would be able to operate in a serene environment, with all the facilities they require.
“I would like to assure our honourable members of the State Assembly of my administration’s support towards the effective discharge of your functions at all times.
“I appreciate the cordial relations between you and the executive arm since my coming on board two years ago. This cordiality is largely responsible for the appreciable successes we have recorded so far.
“However, notwithstanding the friendly atmosphere, I wish to call on you to redouble your efforts to come up with effective legislations to further improve our people’s wellbeing,” Matawalle said.
Earlier, the Speaker of Zamfara assembly, Alhaji Nasiru Magarya, who commended the governor for providing the facility, pledged to work with the executive for the benefit of the people.
Magarya said in the last two years, the assembly had passed 25 Bills into law, while 13 others are being worked on.
The speaker appealed to the Federal Government to strenghten efforts in addressing the security challenges in the country. (NAN)

Opposition no longer safe with recruitment of Osun PDP members into Amotekun – APM

The Allied Peoples Movement (APM) in Osun State has raised concerns over the alleged recruitment of members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) into the state’s Amotekun Corps, claiming it threatens the safety of opposition members.
In a statement issued on Friday, APM Chairman, Mr. Adewale Adebayo, criticized the recruitment process, alleging that non-PDP applicants were deliberately screened out. He warned that Amotekun, originally created to enhance security, was being turned into a political tool.
“We are disturbed by the protest by well-meaning Osun residents who applied but were deliberately excluded because they are not PDP members,” Adebayo stated.
He further alleged that over 1,000 PDP members had been recruited into the corps, describing it as an attempt to silence opposition voices. According to him, the recruitment exercise was merely a formality to cover up a pre-arranged selection process favoring ruling party members.
APM has called for the resignation of the Corps Commandant and Field Commandant of Amotekun, demanding an apology to the affected applicants and the people of the state. The party insisted that the security outfit must remain apolitical to maintain public trust.
Neither the Osun State Government nor the leadership of Amotekun has responded to the allegations as of the time of this report.
