Supporters of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in Zamfara State have declared their readiness to defend the outcome of the 2027 governorship election, warning that any attempt to manipulate votes in favour of or against their candidate will be resisted at polling units.
The group, led by Muhammad Sagir, made its position known in a statement issued in Gusau on Monday, declaring its determination to ensure that every vote cast for the party's governorship candidate, Senator Kabiru Garba Marafa, is properly protected and counted.
The supporters said they would maintain a strong presence at polling stations throughout the voting process and remain there until the lawful winner emerges, insisting that electoral malpractice would not be tolerated.
They expressed confidence in their ability to safeguard the votes, arguing that political parties and their supporters now have several ways to monitor the electoral process and prevent attempts to undermine the people's mandate.
According to the group, its preference is for the 2027 election to be conducted in a peaceful, free, fair and credible atmosphere, with Marafa emerging victorious through the support of voters.
The NDC supporters also criticised what they described as a pattern of unfulfilled political promises in Zamfara, arguing that the state needs a new approach to governance anchored on accountability, competence and tangible development.
They pledged to intensify grassroots mobilisation and build support for Marafa, whom they described as a leader capable of providing the direction needed to improve the state's fortunes.
The group maintained that its campaign would focus on securing popular support while ensuring that the votes of Zamfara residents are respected during the 2027 electoral process.
