Former Governor of Zamfara State Ahmad Sani Yariman Bakura has told state House journalists on Monday in Abuja that President Bola Ahmad Tinubu had asked him to reconcile Governor Dauda Lawal with his predecessor Bello Matawallen Maradun.
It could be recalled that recently there were a crises between the government of Zamfara state led by Dauda Lawal and former Governor Bello Matawalle over the recovery of forty vehicles allegedly taken away by the former Governor.
The matter is currently before the Federal High Court Gusau and order for the return of the vehicles was issued by Justice Aminu Bappa.
Some police officers allegedly involved the in what supporters of Bello Matawalle the former Governor, referred to as “illegal operations” have been transferred out of Zamfara state by the former IGP Baba Alkali.
Yarima said plans are under way to get the rift between the former Governor and Dauda Lawal the Governor of Zamfara settled.
“You see, the issue of Zamafara like you rightly said, I’m now a father in Zamfara. Even Mr President, in my interaction this afternoon, has requested me to put my best to ensure that there’s stability in the state and that is what we are doing already,” Yerima said.
“And by the grace of God, we will come together, and you will see that all the crises that are going on will be over.”
Yerima also commended Tinubu’s decision to remove the petrol subsidy, saying the action was vital in achieving price equilibrium.
“I’m here this afternoon to congratulate Mr. President for a very successful take-off having taken over the helms of affairs of our country,” he said.
“He came up with three quick decisions that I believe, as an economist, are going to help this country to achieve development.
“First, he removed the fuel subsidy, which former leaders couldn’t do, and looked at the exchange rate disparity which he is bringing together. It will help the export and import system and finally the reopening of the border for goods and services to flow into Nigeria.
