Yari warns Matawalle on defection to APC

The news that the Zamfara State governor, Bello Matawalle could decamp to the All Progressive Congress from the PDP is becoming credible as the former governor of the state, Abdulaziz Yari has warned that the governor would cease to be the Chief Executive Officer of the State if he decamps.

Speaking in Guzau at the weekend, Yari called the attention of governor Matawalle to the Supreme court ruling which brought him to power, reminding the governor that the Supreme court had ruled that the APC had no candidate in the 2019 election

Yari spoke at the secretariat of the All Progressives Congress in Gusau on Sunday, during the distribution of N1.3bn assorted grains he purchased for the APC supporters as Ramadan gift.

He was represented by Senator Kabiru Marafa.

Yari said Matawalle was being misled by some people to join the APC “forgetting the circumstances that have made him to become the governor of the state.”
