Governor Bello Muhammad Matawalle has declared that if not for the intervention of the APC interim National Chairman the Yobe State Governor Mai Mala Buni he intended to sue the APC Spokes Person Mr. Yekini Nabena over recent comment made against him.
“I intended to sue in this case, but for the intervention of my brother, the Yobe state Governor Alhaji Mai Mala Buni, who assured me the officer will be reprimanded for such a callous statement. I am waiting to see the action that the APC will take since it has dissociated itself from the statement” Malam Zailani Bappa said in a statement issued to journalists on Monday.
Governor Bello Matawalle declared this when he received the Chairman of Nigeria’s Governors Forum who doubled as Ekiti State Governor, Kayode Fayemi who led other Governors to pay solidarity visit to him in Abuja on Monday.
According to Malam Zailani Bappa the Governor said, “no amount of discouragement can deter me from doing what is right to salvage my people from the menace of banditry and other criminality”.
Bappa further said, “with utter dismay that after sleepless nights he spent working hard to assist in the release of Kankara children, a Spokesman of the All Progressive Congress accused him of harboring bandits who terrorize his neighbors”.
Zailani further said, “Governor Bello Mohammed said he was elated and encouraged by the visit which will serve as an elixir for his renewed efforts to do more so that his people can sleep with their two eyes closed”.
Governor Matawalle commended the Governors Forum for the encouragement and financial support to the victims of banditry in the state. He also commended President Muhammadu Buhari for the support he has always rendered to him in the fight against banditry in the state” Zailani added.
