Defection: Matawalle has lost memory of how he became governor

National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Prince Uche Secondus has labelled the executive Governor of Zamfara, Bello Matawalle as a man “who has probably lost memory of how he became governor,” adding that the party will go the whole hog to protect the mandate given to it by the Supreme Court when it ruled in favour of the PDP.

Addressing newsmen at a meeting of party leaders on Tuesday, while reacting to the defection of Matawalle from the PDP to the ruling All Progressives Congress, Secondus said the PDP’s chances of winning the Presidential election in 2023 will not dim.

He added that the party’s optimism is premised on th support of the masses nationwide while APC “is busy after governors in their bid to rig elections in 2023.”

Zamfara state governor, Bello Matawalle, Tuesday, crossed over to the ruling party, a development that did not go down well with the National Working Committee, NWC, of the party.
