The chairman, Zamfara State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji Jibo Magayaki Jamilu has tackled Senator Abdulaziz Yari for exonerating Minister of State, Defence, Bello Matawalle, from allegations of sponsoring banditry.
In a statement he personally issued to newsmen in Gusau, the PDP chairman said, “Instead of deflecting responsibility, Yari should advocate for an investigation into any potential complicity regarding the security issues in Zamfara State.
“Governor Dauda Lawal is not engaging in a blame game, rather, he is striving to set the records straight for the sake of posterity, accountability and transparency.
“He is actively focused on developing Zamfara State and addressing the pressing security issues, a commitment that should not be undermined by past administrations.”
According to him, “Governor Lawal’s approach stands in contrast to previous governors, showcasing a dedicated effort to confront the state’s challenges head-on.
“Senator Yari should redirect his caution and advice toward Matawalle, as it is essential for all leaders to be held accountable for their actions.
“Governor Lawal stepped into his role fully prepared, to tackle these complex issues, and it is vital that the political class supports him in this endeavor rather than deflecting responsibility.
“Only through collective effort and accountability can Zamfara State move forward.”
