Zamfara Council of Ulamas pledge support for Tinubu, Matawalle

The Zamfara Council of Ulamas has pledged to support the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, as well as Zamfara State Governor Bello Matawalle’s second term bid.

The clerics also gave high marks to Matawalle’s and President Muhammadu Buhari’s administrations.

Senator Kabiru Garba Marafa, the state coordinator of the Tinubu/Shettima Presidential Campaign Council, made the announcement yesterday in Gusau.

Sheikh Abubakar Fari, Chairman of the Zamfara State Council of Ulamas, and Shiek Liman Muhammad Dan-Alhaji, Chairman of Imams of Jumat Mosques and Chief Imam of Gusau Central Mosque, spoke on behalf of the clerics.

Yusuf Idris Gusau, the APC’s Publicity Secretary in Zamfara State, quoted him in a statement.

The cleric stated unequivocally that the APC Presidential candidate is unrivaled and will be the next best thing to happen to the country.

Marafa, had urged the Islamic scholars, comprising juma’at mosques imams and their deputies, muazims and others to support Tinubu’s candidature, saying his support for the former Lagos State governor was borne out of the presidential candidate’s track record of achievements.

As a two-term governor of Lagos State, Tinubu left an enviable record in economic, social, empowerment, and political development, according to Marafa.

If elected, Tinubu, he said, will replicate the successes seen in Lagos at the national level.
