From Maiharaji Altine, Gusau
An erstwhile APC factional leader in Zamfara state, Senator Kabiru Garba Marafa has advised Governor Bello Mattawale to reconcile with his Deputy Governor, Barrister Mahdi Aliyu Gusau so that he might retain his seat.
Marafa who was addressing thousands of APC supporters during the distribution of 172 trucks of assorted grains purchased by former Governor Yari for the Ramadan fast said, Governor Matawalle could still retain his position if he reconciled with his Deputy Governor.
“I am calling on the Governor to meet our younger brother, the PDP Deputy Governor Mahdi Aliyu Gusau and seek for out of court settlement so that he may not be thrown out of office”.
He has seen what happened in Ebonyi and Cross Rivers states”.
“We told him that he should not defect to APC because APC is like a heaven, whoever goes to the heaven will never return to the earth”
“He did not heed to our warning and was misled by some overzealous individuals to defect to APC and he is now regretting his actions”.
“I want to use this opportunity to call on our supporters to remain calm and watch the unfolding drama”.
Marafa maitained Yari and himself were in touch with other prominent personalities in the state on whether to remain in APC or not.
He said, “the former Governor, Alhaji Abdul Aziz Yari, myself and other prominent personalities are currently in consultation and by the grace of God, we will soon come out with a solution”.
