The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Zamfara State has indicated that Governor Bello Mohammed Matawalle will be pardoned on the condition that he vacates his position for Mahdi Aliyu Gusau, the state’s former Deputy Governor, and returns to the party as an ordinary member.
In a press conference in Gusau, the PDP’s State Secretary, Ahmad Farouq Shettima Rigiya, expressed optimism that the party would recapture the mandate it had lost to the All Progressive Congress (APC).
“The lawsuit is already before a court of competent jurisdiction, and we are not scared to fight it to the finish,” he continued.
Matawalle should return to the party, according to Rijiya, in order to avoid the same fate as David Umahi.
Given that Matawalle’s case was before the same judge, in the same court where Umahi was sacked, the PDP hinted that it was aware of Matawalle’s plans to eat humble pie and return to the party through which he became the state Governor in 2019, the PDP hinted that it was aware of Matawalle’s plans to eat humble pie and return to the party through which he became the state Governor in 2019.
“Matawalle should be aware that he did not win the governorship election in 2019, but the supreme court gave the mandate to the PDP.”
“He was pushed to consider returning to PDP for two fundamental reasons. According to reliable sources, things have escalated to the point where his godfather has stopped answering his phone calls, and a powerful minister has stopped picking up his calls, while the outcome of a court case may not be in his favor.”
“Governor Matawalle is well aware that the PDP was not treated properly prior to his defection to the APC. He considered many PDP members as enemies whom he could never forgive, which is why he impeached the Deputy Governor, Mahdi Aliyu, who refused to defect to the APC with him, on his own and illegally.”
“He also promised to destroy Aliyu Gusau’s good name as a statesman and three-time National Security Adviser” (rtd). Despite this, the PDP in Zamfara State will readmit Governor Matawalle on the condition that he abdicates his governorship and holds a news conference with national dailies to apologize unreservedly to the party at all levels, the people of the state, and the entire nation.”
