Yusuf Idris, Publicity Secretary of the APC Zamfara chapter, says the 2023 governorship election in the state will be a walk over.

“We will only go and cast our votes for APC candidates at all levels just because of formalities,” Mr Idris said during an interview in Abuja on Sunday.

According to him, the issue of the second mandate for Governor Bello Matawalle had already been signed and sealed by the people of the state.

“We have planned all our strategies to retain power in the state as we are much happy with the way the Governor is leading the state.

“The people of the state are happy with his various plausible programmes and polices of development especially in the areas of youth empowerment, health, education and social investments, among others.

“I think this will give us an upper hand to the electorate and we are optimistic we are going to defeat any political party in 2023,” Mr Idris said.

He added that APC had much on the ground at all levels in the state, insisting that all the major political gladiators since the return of democracy are in the party.

“We are more united, we are formidable, we are under one umbrella and we don’t have any issue of intra-party wranglings.

“So, we are ahead of the plan and we are sure by the special grace of God, we are going to win the elections at all levels.

“This is ranging from the presidency and we are going to give him nothing less than one million votes.

“We are much ready for the forthcoming polls as we have set up all the needed committees and a governorship campaign council which will be unveiled soon,” he said.
