With people like Governor Lawal, we can address insecurity — CDS Oluyede

On April 21, 2026, the Chief of Defence Staff, General Olufemi Oluyede, commended Dauda Lawal, the Zamfara governor, for his “uncommon” support for military operations in the state.

Oluyede spoke during an official visit to the Zamfara State Government House in Gusau, and the headquarters of Operation Fansan Yamma in Gusau, where he met with the governor and troops.

General Oluyede said, “I am here today to commend His Excellency the Governor for the Operation Fansan Yamma, which is actually uncommon. I want to thank you particularly for that,” Oluyede said.

“I equally thank the people of Zamfara, who are quite accommodating. I always say that Nigeria belongs to us. We must come together collectively to face these challenges head-on.

“With people like Governor Lawal, we can address these challenges. I am here to visit you and to thank you for your support.”
