From Maiharaji Altine Gusau
The People’s Democratic party (PDP) Zamfara state chapter has accused Governor Bello Mattawalle of fueling crises in the state for his selfish interest.
Addressing Journalists in Gusau, the Vice chairman of the party, Alhaji Muktari Lugga said, Governor Bello Mattawalle was creating unnecessary orders that violated the constitution of the country with the full aim of causing trouble in the state.
“He has been giving orders that contravened the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria”. He is doing so in order to cause confusion and crises in the state for his selfish interest”.
Lugga cited example with the recent suspension on political activities by Governor Matawalle, stressing that, “Nobody has the power to suspend political activities except the INEC”.
“Even the President of the country cannot suspend political activities just like that unless with the full consent of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Lugga maintained that, the PDP would not respect the suspension order of political activities from Governor Bello Mattawalle, adding that they would continue to look for supporters until the end of the exercise next year.
“We will not abide by Governor Matawalle’s suspension order on political activities and we will continue with our campaigns from now until we claim the state from APC in 2023”.
He blamed the state government over the recent incident where one person was killed and others injured.
“The Governor and his party APC should be held responsible for whatever happened because we were attacked by their members during our rally”.
