Zamfara State Governor Bello Matawalle says he finds insulting that the All Progressives Congress (APC) is accusing him of sponsoring bandits in his own state.
Matawalle said this in a statement on Sunday night.
“We all are living witnesses to the fact that during APC’s tenure, Zamfara state was adjudged as a colony of banditry in the whole world.
“We are not claiming that insecurity has totally been eliminated in Zamfara but it is on record that terror attacks have reduced drastically in the state in less than two years than APC’s unfortunate eight years when people were running away from the State.
“This is a malicious calumny by the ruling party, releasing a statement as sensitive as that, knowing FULLY well how miserable they governed the state for years.
“Their statement is not only laughable but shows the type of leadership they have…,” Matawalle said.
