“Our responsibility as leaders and candidates is to inspire confidence through service, integrity, and a genuine commitment to improving the lives of our people,” he added.
He further called for issue-based campaigns and sustained grassroots engagement, noting that Nigerians expect leaders who prioritise development, justice, accountability and economic opportunities.
According to him, the PDP must continue to strengthen its engagement with citizens and demonstrate readiness to address the country’s social and economic challenges through people-centred policies.
The presentation of the Certificate of Return signals the formal commencement of a renewed campaign effort by Maituta as he seeks to consolidate support across Zamfara Central ahead of the 2027 election.
