The rumour ex-Ekiti State governor, Ayodele Fayose ignited, claiming plan is afoot by federal government to declare a state of emergency in Zamfara is a good music to the state governor, Abdulaziz Yari’s ears.
“I have been reliably informed that the FG is plotting to hide under the killings in Zamfara State by armed bandits to impose emergency rule on the state. This is their response to the insistence of INEC not to allow APC field candidates for the 2019 general election in the state. “With the emergency rule, there will only be Presidential and National Assembly elections in Zamfara in February next year while governorship and state House of Assembly elections will be postponed till May,” Fayose tweeted via his handle, @GovAyoFayose.
But Yari said he is favourably disposed to the said plan saying at a press briefing in Gusau, the state capital: “I am also in support of the declaration of state of emergency if it will save the lives of people of the state.”
