Governor Bello Muhammad Matawalle
of Zamfara State has vowed to arrest and appropriately deal with his
predecessor, Abdulazedz Yari.
In a statement through his media
aide Zailani Bappa, while receiving a group of repentant bandits who
surrendered nine of their sophisticated weapons, the governor said, “I swear,
the next time Abdulazeez Yari comes to town and there is a breach of the peace,
I will order for his immediate arrest in the state.”
“In fact, if need be, I will lead
the arrest myself in his village of Talata-Mafara and I am not joking,”
governor Matawalle assured.
The statement quoted the governor
as saying that this was the third time there was major breach of peace only
when the former governor is on a visit to the state.
“My victory as the incumbent
governor and my success in bringing peace to Zamfara are ordained by God. I
will not allow the former Governor and his cronies to rubbish our hard earned
peace in the state any more,” Matawalle angrily explained.
He added, “Henceforth, I will
show him that power is now in my hands not in his hands anymore. And we shall
appropriately employ it for the benefit and protection of millions of our
citizens in the state.”
Governor Matawalle noted that
Abdulazeez Yari failed in his duty as a governor as he could not secure the
lives and property of the people and having lost his chance was now bent to
ensure that the present administration also failed in the eyes of the people.
The governor explained, “To show
that they planned all these, I was billed to be in Germany to share my
experience with German-African Forum on peace, but I cancelled the trip because
of what happened. But to my utmost surprise, their social media hawks dominated
the net that I have abandoned the people at their time of need.
“They did not even care to know
that I was still very much around with the people.”
Governor Matawalle said
henceforth, his administration would start regulating the online postings from
the youth, adding, “We shall order for the arrest of anyone who posts fake news
on the social media about Zamfara. The situation in Zamfara state today
requires caution and social responsibility.”
