A group named Guardians of Justice wants an emergency rule in Zamfara State, just weeks after a similar action happened in Rivers State. They blame Governor Dauda Lawal for problems with the state assembly, where two different leadership groups exist. The group says Lawal ignores laws that limit his power. Their leader, Abel Adams, claims bandits hurt people across 14 local areas because the governor cannot protect citizens.
Adams thinks Lawal wastes money instead of fighting crime. He criticized the governor for giving his budget to lawmakers who lack authority. The group believes this shows how Lawal misunderstands democracy's rules about separate powers between branches of government. They praised ten lawmakers who stood against the governor despite threats. Adams points to Section 305 of the Nigerian Constitution, which allows the President to step in when local government breaks down.
The group warns that more violence might happen if nobody fixes these problems. They ask officials to act fast before things become worse for regular people living there. They fear more attacks might force people from their homes. Adams stressed that citizens need safety from both political fights and criminal gangs operating freely across the state.
