Gov. Matawalle Will Not Resign – Apc

The Zamfara State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress has told the Peoples Democratic Party to drop its campaign for Governor Bello Mattawale’s resignation.

Matawalle will not resign, according to the APC publicity secretary, Alhaji Yusuf Idris, in a statement released on Tuesday.

Idris called PDP secretary Faruk Ahmed’s call for Matawalle’s resignation “an empty threat.”
He claimed that Matawalle’s rise to power was predetermined by God.
The statement implied that the PDP is beginning to feel the heat of defeat in the upcoming general elections in 2023.

“Faruku raised some issues in his submissions that confirmed his confused mind and that of his sponsors,” Idris noted.

In terms of security, he disagreed with the PDP secretary that the state was safer under former Governor Abdulaziz Yari’s administration.

“Is Faruku telling us that Governor Matawalle was in office when 250 people were massacred in Yargaladima Village in a single day?” What about those killed in the tens of thousands, daily kidnappings, cattle rustlings, rapes, the secrecy of the Holy Qur’an, and the burning of several villages at Kizara, Birane, and Dangulbi? ” he inquired.
