The African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Zamfara State has condemned the recent terrorist attack on Sauna Community in Talata Mafara Local Government Area, urging President Bola Tinubu to visit the state and assess the worsening security situation firsthand. The attack, which left several people dead and others injured, has once again exposed the fragile security environment in the region. In a statement issued by the party’s State Publicity Secretary, Abdulkareem Umar Lihidda, the ADC expressed deep sorrow over the loss of lives and extended condolences to the people of Sauna Community, the Talata Mafara Emirate, and the families of the victims. The party described the incident as a painful reminder of the persistent insecurity that continues to plague Zamfara State.
The ADC strongly condemned the attack, calling on security agencies to intensify their operations to protect innocent civilians and restore public confidence. The party emphasized that justice must be served swiftly, urging both the Federal Government and the Zamfara State Government to take decisive action to identify, arrest, and prosecute those responsible. It stressed that proactive measures must be put in place to prevent future attacks on vulnerable communities across the state. The ADC also expressed concern over the absence of an official presidential visit to Zamfara since President Tinubu assumed office, despite the state’s ongoing security challenges and humanitarian crises.
The party appealed to President Tinubu to visit Zamfara to sympathize with the victims, evaluate the security situation on the ground, and reassure residents of the Federal Government’s commitment to addressing the crisis. The ADC maintained that the people of Zamfara deserve the same level of protection, attention, and compassion as citizens in other parts of Nigeria. It called for strengthened security operations and the implementation of sustainable, long-term solutions to restore lasting peace and stability in the state. The opposition party reaffirmed its support for genuine efforts aimed at tackling insecurity, promoting justice, and fostering development in Zamfara and across the country.
The ADC’s statement highlights growing public frustration over the perceived neglect of northern Nigeria’s security challenges. As attacks continue to disrupt daily life and displace communities, calls for federal intervention are becoming louder. The party’s appeal to President Tinubu underscores the urgent need for leadership engagement and policy action to address the root causes of insecurity in the region. The situation in Zamfara remains a critical test of the government’s ability to protect its citizens and deliver on promises of national unity and safety.
