Ideally, a constructive opposition would emphasize more on discussion, ask more questions, resolution of problems faced, help in amendments and passage of important bills.
Also unite with ruling govt on issues of national or state interests. Without constructive opposition our beloved state is dying, on the other hand, government can long be secure without a formidable opposition.
At the same time, opposition must warn or bring in focus issues that govt is not addressing effectively at its level.
Zamfara state need a strong and constructive opposition to only complements democracy. In the event of a weaker opposition, ruling govt and its representatives may become complacent and insensitive for duration of their rule as we are witnessing currently in Zamfara State.
But let's avoid disruptive opposition in the sense that we are opposing everything for the sake of opposing - is not good for democracy and tax-payers.
The current opposition in Zamfara state is nearly dead nothing shows officially and open that there's existing of opposition parties in Zamfara state.
What do you expect in the state where the oppositions are set to be quit in anything concerning the development, implementations, forward need and backwards need of the state.
I pity for Zamfara where the opposition parties act like non,acts incapacitated the government officials are operating state systems like their toilets but nobody's calling their attention to order.
Even a meaningful advice from serious opposition is lost, what types of democracy are we operating in the state. Without an opposition party , the people can be forced into frustration in the long run if their will is not being reflected.
The activities of the opposition parties in the state is worrisome, they act like want to remaining in the dying line of opposition forever.
Unfortunately, opposition parties in the state are doing nothing but creating factions, crisis in their own territory rather than to face the serious challenges ahead of them in their future.
As we hoping opposition party to be the next ruling party in the state come 2019, so as to strengthen our democracy and make life more abundant for our long suffering people. So we must watch our actions, we must work hand in hand with all party members because whatever we have achieved as the voice of the opposition could not have been possible without the support of all party members.
God bless Zamfara state all the time.
