The Abuja Division of the Appeal Court on Wednesday affirmed the electoral victory of Abdulmalik Zubairu (APC-Zamfara). The politician touted his commitment to serving his constituents, saying he sponsored 22 bills in his first 100 days in the House of Representatives.

Mr Zubairu, representing Bungudu/Maru federal constituency, stated this in Gusau when he spoke with journalists.

“Within my 100 days in office, I sponsored no fewer than 22 bills before the green chamber for the benefit of my constituents, out of which some have scaled first and second readings,” said Mr Zubairu. “I consider this victory a victory for every member in my constituency. I am calling on my opponent to join hands with me for the progress of democracy.”

The Zamfara legislator added, “I will continue to deliver inclusive representation to ensure that everyone is carried along in enjoying the dividend of democracy.”

He assured his constituents of more democracy dividends.

“I will continue to justify the confidence reposed in me by the good people of Bungudu/Maru federal constituency. I will continue with laudable programmes that are beneficial to the common man.

“Education, security, health and empowerment would continue to be my priorities for the future development of our constituency. I appreciate the leadership of my great party, the APC, at both state and national levels, for their support,” added Mr Zubairu.
