APC tackles Zamfara govt over ‘campaign of calumny’ against Matawalle

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in the North-West has condemned the conduct of the Zamfara State government on matters relating to the Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle.

The APC National Vice Chairman, North-West, Garba Datti, who addressed journalists at the party’s zonal office in Kaduna on Saturday, said Governor Dauda Lawal’s administration has made it its primary role to drag Matawalle’s name in the mud at all costs he left office on May 29.

He challenged the government to tackle the security challenges that held the state to a standstill instead of focusing on the ex-governor.
