The eight suspended Zamfara State House of Assembly lawmakers have raised the alarm alleging that their adversaries are still after them.
On February 27, the state assembly suspended the eight lawmakers for allegedly holding an illegal plenary.
Those suspended are: Bashir Aliyu (PDP-Gummi 1); Amiru Keta (PDP-Tsafe West); Nasiru Abdullahi (PDP-Maru South); Bashir Masama (PDP-Bukkuyum North); Faruku Dosara (APC-Maradun 1); Ibrahim Tukur (APC-Bakura Constituency); Shamsudeen Hassan (APC Talata-Mafara North) and Bashiru Sarkin-Zango (PDP-Bungudu West).
On Sunday at a press conference in Zaria, Kaduna State, they claimed they are under threat of violence for exposing the increasing wave of insecurity in the state.
Speaking on behalf of his colleagues, Bashir Aliyu declared that they would continue to speak up until security is restored in the state.
“We want to notify all that democracy is in danger in Zamfara State despite the prevailing insecurity and other challenges bedeviling the people of the state.
“We hence call for the intervention of key stakeholders to salvage the situation,” Aliyu said.
