Attack On AA Presidential Candidate, Assault on Democracy – Zamfara Chairman

The Action Alliance (AA) in Zamfara State has condemned the attack on its 2027 presidential candidate, Aare Adekunle Rufai Omoaje, which occurred during a burial on Saturday.

The party described the attack as a direct assault on democracy.

In a statement issued on Sunday evening in Gusau, the Zamfara State chairman of AA, Alhaji Shehu Hussaini Waziri, called on security agencies to investigate the incident.

He said, “The Zamfara State Action Alliance condemns the unfortunate attack on its presidential candidate, Aare Adekunle Rufai Omoaje, on Saturday at a burial ceremony and activities held at Ekusa, Odo Otin LGA, Osun State.”

“This cowardly act is a direct assault on democracy, an attempt to intimidate the opposition political party, denying them their mandate.”

“Our 2027 presidential candidate and his teeming supporters would remain committed to national justice, peaceful coexistence and struggle for a prosperous Nigeria despite the undemocratic attitude of some unpatriotic people.

“The safety of every citizen should remain sacrosanct to security operatives; we all, our supporters, should remain calm, committed, and law-abiding for the peace and progress of our state and country,” he said.
