ABUJA, Nigeria – President Athletic Federation of Nigeria, (AFN), Engr. Ibrahim Gusau, has picked the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) Governorship nomination form at the Party’s headquarters in Abuja on Tuesday.
Gusau who was denied the party’s ticket in 2019 despite being a favourite and a top contender, maintained that economic and social wellbeing of the good people of Zamfara cannot be mortgaged to enriching very few elites at the detriment of the majority.
Speaking to newsmen in Abuja, the Sports Administrator who is also Athletics President of the ECOWAS countries, said Zamfara citizens deserved freedom, peace and security which he said could only be championed by a true leader.
“The good people of Zamfara state needs freedom, peace and security which is a mirage at the moment.
These ingredients of a good life have become elusive to my people, and it is against this backdrop and with every sense of modesty, I am offering myself to serve the good people of the state.
“The economic and social welfare of my people is non negotiable – freedom, peace and security can only be achieved by a true, compassionate and visionary leader.
“Am calling on all the state delegates to vote a credible person like me that will deliver dividends of democracy to the door steps come 2023,” Gusau stated.
