Zamfara APC Alleges Plot to Link Matawalle with Banditry Amid Political Tensions

The Zamfara State chapter of the APC has accused a political plot to associate former Governor Matawalle with banditry, despite denials. The party alleges ongoing campaigns to link Matawalle with insecurity, pressuring President Tinubu for his removal.

The APC claims the state government is using public resources to mobilize protests against Matawalle. The party also questions the release of suspected bandit Musa Kamarawa during Matawalle's tenure.

The allegations highlight political tensions within the ruling PDP in Zamfara ahead of the 2027 governorship elections.
