Governor Bello Matawalle of Zamfara State has been urged to decamp to the All Progressives Congress (APC) to consolidate on the numerous successes being recorded in the state.
Zamfara state commissioner for Rural Development & Cooperatives, Alhaji Abubakar Abdullahi Tsafe made the call while addressing a mammoth crowd during an APC gathering in Tsafe local government area of the state at the weekend.
It would be recalled that Matawalle who is of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) became the governor of the state following a Supreme Court judgement that nullified the victory of the APC sequel to an internal crisis that bedevilled the party.
Tsafe, who is one of the APC stalwarts appointed by Matawalle in line with his all-inclusive government, in a statement personally signed by him urged the governor to join the party to move the state to the next level.
The commissioner who represented Senator Kabiru Marafa, a leader of the APC in the state said, “We are using this medium to call on His Excellency, Dr. Bello Matawalle to dump the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and join our party, APC. We want him to join in view of the peace we are enjoying now in the state.
“If he joins, more attention would be given to the state by the federal government. He should join our camp. Our leader is anxiously waiting for him.”
According to the statement, chieftains of the APC at the gathering were, the state chairman, Alhaji Surajo Maikatako, Alhaji Ahmed Maiaya Tsafe, Salisu Musa Kainuwa, Muzzakiru Sidi Bawa Tsafe, SA to the governor, among others.
