Speaking with DAILY POST in Gusau, the state capital in a phone conversation, the Governor noted that bandits’ activities in the state have gone out of control, lamenting that all the measures he was implementing in the state were not bringing any positive results.
The Governor maintained that he had been doing all he could to ensure the security of lives and properties in the state, pointing out that some popular politicians were sabotaging his efforts.
Matawalle insisted that if the Federal Government can implement his suggestion of declaring a state of emergency in the north, he would be very happy to step down.
Governor Matawalle explained that he did not defect to the APC because of political reasons, stressing that he defected to the ruling party to bring the warring factors together s they could work together to restore peace and harmony in the state.
According to him, the leadership of APC in Zamfara State was never his priority but to harmonize peace which the state has lost for decades, saying that he was not ready to fight for position with anybody in the state.
