Northern Leaders Are People of Deceit and Oppression — Matawalle

Zamfara state governor, Bello Matawalle, has described Northern leaders as people of deceit and oppression.

The governor who spoke during an interview with DW Hausa in Gusau, the state’s capital, also slammed people criticising him for defecting to the APC.

He also dismissed claims that his defection is in line with the second-term agenda. According to him, “no one is guaranteed for tomorrow, even an hour per se. I am contented with what Allah made me. As far as I am concerned, if I am done with this first term successfully, I am okay with that. I am grateful to Allah and to the people of Zamfara.”

“Let the people of Zamfara continue engaging with their own business as usual. Those who are mongering this are ignorant. They are worried about the second term, not me.”

On the PDP’s move to reclaim its mandate in the state, Matawalle responded: “I’m not the first governor to have defected into another party. But what you should understand here is that, for our people here in the north, we are the problem of our selves.

“That’s the reason you can see power is about to vacate from the region. This is because all those that call themselves leaders of the north are just people of deceit and oppression.

“My reason here is that there’s a former governor of Sokoto State who vowed that if PDP failed to drag me to court; he would leave the party. They’re insisting that I must be sued.

“But if I am sued, they have nothing against me. Didn’t they know the law and Nigeria’s constitution? And am I the only first person to have defected? There’s nothing that could scare me and I remain the governor of Zamfara, whether they like it or not.”
