Zamfara State Governor, Bello
Mohammed Matawalle says it was too early for political critics to attack his
administration considering that he is only six months in office.
Matawalle said his administration
since inception had been focused on maintaining peace and security in the
state.
According to him, no society in
the world survives without peace, stressing that he was only interested in
settling the security challenges bedevilling the state for over a decade.
The governor who spoke through
his Director-General, Press affairs, Yusuf Idris Gusau said he was aware that
the immediate past governor, Alhaji Abdulaziz Yari was all out to tarnish his
image.
“I would no longer join issues
with somebody whom terror attacks started during his unfortunate tenure and the
same person wants me to fail just as he failed,” he said.
Matawalle who was the chairman,
committee on security and safety at the House of Representative, said he was
worried about the state of insecurity in the state
The governor said he had called
on Senator Ahmad Sani Yarima, at the heat of massive killings in the state to
proffer advice on the security situation but had been ignored
Mattawalle accused former
governor Abdulaziz Yari of being selfish and only interested in amassing state
resources for his self-aggrandizement rather than help develop the state.
He, however, maintained that if
Abdulaziz Yari and his cohorts could not assist in building peace in the state
then they should do well not to distract him from serving the people of the
state.
Recall that Matawalle and former
governor Abdulaziz Yari has been engaged in a war of words over the security
situation in the state and the challenge of armed banditry.
Matawalle
had issued several warnings to Yari to desist from attacking his administration
unnecessarily especially on security issues.
