Zamfara APC Crisis: Why Matawalle, Yari shouldn’t be trusted, Chieftain
From Ibrahim Kaulahi, Gusau
The APC Chieftain in Zamfara State, Muhammad Bello Bakyasuwa, has explained why the APC members under the Senator Kabiru Garba Mafara have no confidence on two former Governors, Bello Matawalle (Minister of State for Defence), Sen. Abdul’aziz Abubakar Yari (Chairman Senate Committee on Water Resources) as regards to APC leadership in the state.
Bakyasuwa, a former Director Security Affairs and immediate Commandant Zamfara Anti-Thuggery Agency under Governor Bello Matawalle’s administration claimed that the alleged selfish leadership of Yari and Matawalle was a one of crystal reasons behind failure of the party in the Governorship 2023 general election in the state.
“Lack of competent leadership in our party in the state is believed to be responsible for disunity and instability which led to the creation of various factions in the party.
“Matawalle’s appointment as Minister of State Defence did not yielded any positive impacts to the state, especially towards addressing the lingering security challenges facing the state.
“Yari, as a strong pillar in the Senate is not doing what was expected of him towards the development of the state, but only busy persuing his daily selfish political interest.
“Very unfortunate the two leaders in the APC-led Federal Government failed to perform effectively, they failed to meet the expectations of the common man as regards to addressing security challenges.
“Zamfara is one of the States in Northern Nigeria that voted President Bola Ahmad Tinubu massively in the 2023 presidential election all under the efforts of presidential campaign Coordinator, Sen Kabiru Marafa.
“Despite the contribution of Sen Marafa to APC victory in the 2023 Presidential Elections in the State some selfish and incompetent politicians misusing the opportunity given to them to represent the State in the Federal Government.
“The socalled APC leadership in the State under Tukur Umar Danfulani has no capacity to run the affairs of the party to record victory in the future elections in the state.
“Tukur Danfulani is not a lawful member of the party as he was sacked by his Galadima ward executives of the party in Gusau local government area.
“I wondered how a sacked member of the party should be allowed to be parading him self as the party Chairman in the state” the party Chieftain has challenged.
Bakyasuwa further challenged that, only Senator Kabiru Marafa led APC leadership group can take the party to the victory in the 2027 general elections.
