Governor of Zamfara State Bello Matawalle

Governor Bello Matawalle of Zamfara State yesterday offered an insight as to why the ruling All progressive congress (APC) zoned the exalted seat of the presidency to the southern part of the country.

Speaking while receiving hundreds of supporters of the presidential candidate of the People’s democratic party (PDP) to the fold of the APC, he explained that the decision was based on the need to entrench equity and fairness in the country.

He urged the defectors to uphold such commitment which would surely ensure the victory of the APC and all its candidates in the 2023 poll.

The governor assured the defectors that Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, APC Presidential candidate has mapped out strategic development plans that would help consolidate the existing reforms under President Muhammad Buhari.

Flanked by the APC National Vice Chairman North-West Vice of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Salihu Moh. Lukman, noted: “The APC is the only party that upholds the principles of power rotation. The highest justice to be done to the people of the South is to be able to shift power to their region so that justice and equality can be ensured,” he noted.

” These are groups who were committed to supporting the PDP and Alh. Atiku Abubakar won the 2023 Presidential elections but was not given the deserved recognition by both the PDP and Alh. Atiku Abubakar.

“These are groups that invested heavily in the Atiku project since 2015 but noting that poor relationship with both PDP and Alh. Atiku Abubakar compelled them to leave both the PDP and its Presidential candidate and declared their support for APC and its Presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.”

The groups include Atiku Support Organization, PDP Transformation Ambassadors, Atiku Abubakar Kawai, PDP Mobilizers Initiative, Kasa Daya Al’umma Daya, Atiku/Okowo Frontiers Movement, G7 Business Community, Katsina Biyayya poop, Atiku Women and Youth Initiative and Atiku Nigeria Transformation Ambassadors.
