Bello Matawalle, the Minister of State Defense, has received a formal apology from the All Progressives Congress Akida Forum for their earlier objection and demand that his time as governor of Zamfara State be looked into. The organization further declared in a statement written by Alhaji Farouq Adamu that it had removed members, including one Mahmud Mohammed, who had spearheaded the action to the EFCC headquarters.
Thank you for visiting The Vestigator, don't forget to share!
According to Adamu, an emergency committee was formed to look into the protest, and it was found that they had been financially influenced to reach those conclusions. In particular, he said that despite receiving up to 50 million naira for the demonstration, Mohammed declined to reimburse the paid audience he brought to the EFCC. Adamu added that their accusations lacked credibility and were motivated by a desire to share state resources that they felt were being unfairly divided between bandits and certain media professionals. Sadly, Adamu claimed that their avarice impairs their judgment, causing them to falsely accuse Matawalle.
The statement read as follows: “The All Progressives Congress Akida Forum calls for an investigation into Minister of State Defence Bello Matawalle’s tenure as Governor of Zamfara State and wishes to issue a formal apology regarding our previous protest.” “We disassociate ourselves from the demonstration and have already kicked out Mahmud Mohammed and other leaders of the action from the EFCC office.
“We made irrational assertions at first because we wanted to share state resources that we felt were being unfairly divided between media professionals and bandits. Regretfully, our judgment was impaired by avarice, which caused us to falsely accuse Matawalle.
The group learned that Governor Dauda Lawal was the mastermind behind their mistaken acts after conducting additional inquiry. Adamu stated that the Governor has two goals in mind: politics and self-interest. He also expressed anxiety that Matawalle’s rising power and remarkable successes in the fight against banditry may jeopardize his aspirations for public office and his illegal gold mining enterprise.
Adamu points out that the implications of Governor Lawal’s actions are concerning; in addition to squandering public funds and jeopardizing security measures, he is also drawing attention away from urgent problems that Zamfara State faces, such poverty, healthcare, and education. The forum praised Matawalle for turning the tide in the conflict with bandits and taking the lead in the war to the northwest, noting that the area now has hope thanks to his boldness and astute leadership.
The panel recommended Governor Lawal to concentrate on governance and resolving Zamfara State’s urgent needs rather than squandering public funds fighting Matawalle. Adamu went on, “We applaud Matawalle for turning the tide in the war against banditry and steering it himself toward the northwest.” His boldness and astute leadership have given the area hope.
We implore the Minister to persevere in his attempts to safeguard Nigeria. His commitment is essential to the security of the country. “Governor Lawal ought to quit squandering public funds to oppose a man who has received divine favor.” Rather, he ought to concentrate on leading Zamfara State and attending to its urgent needs. “We encourage our members to make a fresh start by embracing integrity and the truth. Together, let’s strive to improve Zamfara State. We value Matawalle’s comprehension and pardon.
