While the people of the different constituencies across the country enjoying their representatives, the people of Zamfara Central Senatorial zone has decried of incompetency by their current senator.

 

Alh. Hassan Nasiha Gusau, is the current senator representing Zamfara Central Senatorial District in the National Assembly. In 2011 Senator Kabiru Garba Marafa defeated Senator Hassan Nasiha due to what most of his constituents described as ineptitude and incompetency of the senator while in the red chamber from 2007 to 2011, Nasiha then failed to deliver any positive impacts in his constituency.

 

Most of the people interviewed by this medium revealed that the senator can’t stand to speak on behalf of his people in the chamber while his constituency is facing series of challenges being the fact that the zone is one the most affected area by banditry activities in Zamfara state.

 

In 2019, as the crisis rocked All Progressive Congress, Zamfara state chapter over primary elections, it came as a dream which paved way and actualized the mandate of Senator Nasiha to reclaim the Senatorial seat of Zamfara central, where he was  automatically declared as winner by the Independent National Electrical Commission (INEC).

 

Lawan suleiman Bungudu said no doubt, the history has already repeated itself being the incompetent senator now climbed the position again as our senator said Suleiman Bungudu. Kabiru Jabo Tsafe, who said that he predicted the failure of the then ruling All Progressive Congress, APC in Zamfara state as the fight between Kabiru Garba Marafa and the then Governor, Abdulaziz Yari continued, what he expected from the opposition party, PDP, Zamfara chapter was to ensure a preferred candidate by the constituents as Malami Aliyu Yandoto, who worked for the party to regain power in 2011, 2015 and 2019, suddenly Nasiha was announced as flag bearer of Peoples Democratic Party Zamfara Central, said Kabiru.

 

While the sons and daughters of the people in his constituency are busy looking jobs for them to survive, a close associate to Senator Hassan Nasiha, who pleaded his name not to be mentioned told this medium that the senator had appointed his biological son Zulkarnain Hassan Nasiha as his Personal Assistant.

 

According to him this is one of the actions demonstrated by the member of the red chamber to his constituents. He said no any single appointment in Zamfara Central Zone is secured by Nasiha since he assumed office as senator.

 

The zone which comprises four Local government areas namely Gusau, Tsafe, Bungudu and Maru. Investigation by this medium from the four local government areas revealed that the constituency remained the voiceless in the upper chamber since the former senator; Kabiru Marafa left the National Assembly in 2019.
