The Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, has described how the Governor of Zamfara State, Dauda Lawal refused to take his calls in the wake of the abduction of students of the Federal University, Gusau.
Mr Matawalle, who is the immediate past governor of the state, in an interview with a Hausa news website, DCL Hausa, Monday night, said Mr Lawal “ran away” from the state a day after the students were abducted while a federal government delegation was making efforts to meet him to discuss the abduction of the students.
The two politicians have been at loggerheads since the beginning of political campaigns in 2022.
