APC dismisses calls for Mattawale’s resignation

 

The All Progressives Congress in Zamfara state has dismissed the recent call on Governor Bello Mattawale to resign by the Peoples Democratic Party.

This was contained in a statement released by the publicity secretary of the ruling party, Alhaji Yusuf Idris.

Idris said Matawalle will not resign.

He further stated that the recent interview by the state PDP secretary, Faruku Ahmed, published in The PUNCH calling on the governor to resign was only ‘’an empty threat.’’

Idris said Matawalle would not resign, saying “his ascension to power is ordained by God”.

The statement insinuated that the PDP has started feeling the heat of defeat in the coming 2023 general elections.

“Looking at his submissions, Faruku raised some issues that confirmed his confused mind and that of his sponsors,’’ Idris noted.

He disagreed with the PDP secretary that the state was better under former Governor Abdulaziz Yari’s administration in terms of security.
