“This Congress is one of the best so far in the state.
We appreciate His Excellency for ensure a united APC. There was no imposition and the conduct was peaceful.” He said.

The Women Leader of Galadinma ward, Hajia Husseina Talata Mafara said APC has emerged a formidable party since the emergence of Governor Bello as the party leader in the state.

The Sole Administrator, Talata Mafara local government council, Honourable Dahiru Maiyara, commended party members for a rancour free ward congress across the local government.

Dahiru admonished the newly elected party leaders to be transparent and carry party members in running the affairs of the party.

Addressing members of the party before the commencement of the congress, Masari said, “the national headquarters of the party has approved the conduct of the congress in Zamfara state.
