Bello Matawalle Supports Suspended Zamfara Lawmakers with Vehicles

Bello Matawalle, the Minister of State for Defence and former governor of Zamfara, donated vehicles to eight suspended members of the Zamfara State House of Assembly to support their political activities in preparation for the 2027 general elections. The donation was made to facilitate the lawmakers' movement within their constituencies and to mobilize support.

This initiative followed a directive from President Bola Tinubu, urging lawmakers to return to Zamfara to work towards unifying the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state. The donation aims to resolve ongoing disagreements and bring together aggrieved party stakeholders after months of political tension.

Yazid Danfulani, the Managing Director of the Nigeria Agricultural Insurance Corporation, presented the vehicles on behalf of Matawalle, emphasizing the minister's commitment to fostering unity within the party. Aliyu Ango Kagara, speaking for the group, expressed gratitude for the support and pledged to work towards ensuring victory for President Tinubu in the upcoming elections.

This development follows a statement from their spokesman, Ibrahim Bakura, asserting that they had not yet returned to the party after meeting with the President.
