The Speaker of the Borno State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Abdulkarim Lawan, has been re-elected on the platform of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC to represent Guzamala state constituency.
In the just concluded peaceful, free and credible Saturday’s gubernatorial and House of Assembly elections, Guzamala council results indicated that the APC gubernatorial candidate and incumbent governor, Babagana Zulum, polled 18,341 votes to defeat his opponent of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Mohammed Ali Jajari, who managed to garner less than 200 votes.
In the same vein, the House of Assembly results revealed that the longest serving Speaker in the history of Nigeria, Rt. Hon Abdulkarim Lawan, of the APC polled 18,339 votes, while PDP got 181 votes.
To this end, Lawan has been re-elected to serve the people of Guzamala constituency for five consecutive terms.
Reacting to the victory on Monday, the Personal Assistant, PA, to the Hon Speaker, Kaka Ali Modu, congratulated his boss and thanked Almighty Allah and the good people of Guzamala for giving another mandate to Rt. Hon. Lawan.
He said that the entire people of Guzamala and by extension Borno State, would not regret, as Lawan, who has been the Speaker for over a decade consecutively, will continue to provide dividends of democracy to the people, which cut across qualitative education, healthcare delivery, poverty alleviation, agricultural development, youths/women empowerment, jobs creation, inclusiveness, devoid of ethnic or political inclinations.
