The Deputy Governorship candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in Zamfara State, Hajiya Asma’u Sani Mainafiya, has said if elected, her administration will provide low-cost shelter for widows and other banditry survivors, and secure scholarships for orphans and other Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in the state.
Hajiya Mainafiya gave the assurance on Sunday while speaking to journalists in her office at Tudun Wada area of Gusau, the state capital.
“Trust is earned by making a mark that touches the major interest of the people, with the aim of giving them a lasting future, assurance of hope and peace that they deserve. The Labour Party will make this possible.”
She said she and her governorship candidate were coming out for the people of Zamfara based on their past records, as leaders the people can trust and build confidence upon to lead the state to a greater and brighter future.
As a woman, she pledged to undertake several interventions that would enhance better living and better welfare, with the aim of securing a greater future for women and children in the state.
She also pledged to secure the educational well-being of women and build more women leaders with confidence and mental ability to participate in state building.
“I am seeing a future where women will participate in all areas in Zamfara and work for the interest of the state, a future where women would no longer be seen as not being able to handle one responsibility or the other, and a future where women would fully participate in the activities of the state. That future can only be possible with the Labour Party,” she said.

On the current insecurity in Zamfara, Hajiya Mainafiya said women are the most vulnerable, noting that visits to IDP camps and communities facing banditry showed women have been left as the only dependable source of livelihood for children who are the future of the state.
“We will provide low-cost shelter and secure their moral dignity. Our government will provide safety for IDPs and widows, giving them access to education and business opportunities for the overall interest of the state,” she said.
She said being the only woman deputy governorship candidate in Zamfara gives her an opportunity to build confidence in other women and motivate them to partner with their male counterparts in contributing to the development of the state.
“I am fully ready to work for the women and children of Zamfara State and support them, not just within Nigeria but in all parts of the world, if the Labour Party is elected in the 2027 general elections,” she added.
She called on the people of Zamfara to come out en masse and vote for all candidates of the Labour Party for a better, prosperous and secured future of the state.
