Gusau, Nigeria – July 15, 2025

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has declared a three-day mourning period in honor of the late former President Muhammadu Buhari, who passed away recently. The decision was announced following a directive from the party’s National Headquarters.

In response to the directive, the Zamfara State Chapter of the ADC has aligned with the national leadership in observing the period of mourning. In a statement signed by the State Chairman, Kabiru Garba Gusau, the party expressed deep sorrow over the death of the former president, describing it as a “national loss of monumental significance.”

According to the statement, all ADC flags in the state will be flown at half-mast, and all political activities, meetings, and engagements are to be suspended during the mourning period.

“President Muhammadu Buhari was a prominent figure in Nigeria’s political journey, having served both as a military leader and a democratically elected president. His contributions to the country, regardless of political affiliation, are part of our national story,” the statement read.

Gusau added that members of the ADC in Zamfara are encouraged to dedicate time for prayers and reflection, not just for the late president, but also for the peace and unity of the nation.

The party extended its condolences to the Buhari family, the people of Katsina State, the All Progressives Congress (APC), and Nigerians at large.

 “We pray for Allah’s mercy upon his soul and ask for strength for his family and supporters during this difficult time,” Gusau said.

The announcement by the ADC adds to the growing number of tributes pouring in from across the political spectrum in honor of the former president, who ruled Nigeria between 1983–1985 as a military head of state and again from 2015–2023 as an elected civilian leader.

The three-day mourning period is expected to run from  Tuesday 15 to 18 July, during which ADC activities nationwide will remain on hold.

Insecurity in Zamfara: The Silent Crises in Dansadau Emirate

-

  The Dansadau Emirate in Maru local government is under siege not by foreign invaders but by the relentless grip of insecurity. Along the Gusau–Magami–Dansadau road, fear now walks freely where people once moved with peace and purpose. What was once a lifeline for commerce and daily life has become a corridor of terror. As someone with roots in this emirate, I can no longer stay silent. Families are torn apart, lives are lost daily, and the hope of a better tomorrow is fading. Innocent farmers, traders, children, and the elderly are living in constant fear of bandits who roam unchecked. The cries from our communities echo through the forests, yet they are met with deafening silence from those in power. We are not asking for miracles only for the most basic responsibility of any government: security. The people of Dansadau emirate deserve to live without fear, to farm their land, to send their children to school, and to travel safely within their own state. This is a call to the re...

An Urgent Call to Authorities on Graduation Celebrations

-

  By Abdullahi Lawal Bungudu I wish to draw the urgent attention of the Zamfara State Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, the Universal Basic Education Board (UBEB), the Ministry for Religious Affairs, and all school principals across the state, regarding the manner in which graduation ceremonies are now being conducted in our schools. It has become increasingly alarming that these celebrations—particularly those involving our young children—are gradually drifting away from the ethical, cultural, and religious standards expected in our society. In many instances, the interactions between boys and girls during such events are inappropriate, and contradict the moral values and teachings of Islam. This worrisome trend, if left unchecked, threatens to erode the moral foundation we strive to instill in our children through both formal education and religious upbringing. Graduation ceremonies should be moments of pride and reflection, not occasions for moral laxity and cultura...
