Hon. Bello Mohammed Matawalle, the Executive Governor of
Zamfara State has sent a red signal to his predecessor, Alhaji Abdul-Aziz Yari,
to stop unnecessary comments against his personality or face possible arrest by
his government.
The governor disclosed on Wednesday while receiving
supporters of the All Progressives Congress, who defected to the ruling Peoples
Democratic Party in the state.
Matawalle explained that his predecessor had been making
some utterances and criticisms against his person and administration just to
give his government a bad image.
“I must let him know that presently, I am the landlord of
Zamfara Government House and the number one citizen of the state. If he dares
me any more with his negative statement about my position as the chief
executive of the state, I must make him understand that I am in control of the
state and I will order for his arrest ,” he threatened.
He stated that he has never underrated the former Governor
Yari even when he was in control even though he was with the opposition party
then and as such he expected the same respect from the immediate past governor
.
“Constitutionally, Yari should respect my position as his
governor, but since he doesn’t recognise my position, I will therefore show him
that I am in charge of the state.”
The governor reminded Yari that he was his senior as far as
politics was concerned , pointing out that he was a commissioner when he ( Yari
) was an ordinary driver.
“I was also in the House of Representatives when he ( Yari)
was the Zamfara State ANPP Secretary,”he thundered.
Matawalle, however, called the former governor to order,
saying that he must show some kind of respect to him and be thankful to Allah
as a man who rose from grass to grace .
He, therefore, called on the people of the state,
particularly those who are still loyal to the former governor to as a matter of
necessity to understand that he was brought into the office by the Almighty
God, saying that whosoever that is challenging his government was only fighting
with God because the Almighty has already ordained him as a leader.
