The Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), in Zamfara state, Alhaji Tukur Umar Danfulani says, the party will continue to accord priority to youth and women in the state.
Danfulani made the assertion in Gusau while formally taking over leadership of the party in an elaborate ceremony at the state APC secretariat.
He stated that while the party strives towards bringing more supporters, it will not relent in supporting Governor Bello Mohammed Matawalle in seeing that dividends of democracy are spread in all parts of the state.
According to him, the new leadership under his stewardship will continue to bring all its members together as one united family warning that the executive will not allow the arbitrary opening of party offices especially as it is done by those trying to factionalize the party.
While expressing gratitude to Allah over the improvement and successes recorded in the fight against insecurity by the Matawalle administration, the Chairman maintained that the party will support the state government in evolving ways that will bring lasting peace to the state.
Earlier while handing over the mantle of leadership to the new Chairman, Senator Hassan Muhammad Nasiha who served as caretaker Chairman expressed gratefulness at the conclusion of the congresses in the state which he noted were peaceful.
