A group, the APC Youth Wing Mobilisation Vanguard yesterday, allegedly that a Federal House of Representative member, Hon Sani Jaji, of being behind the sponsored protest against Minister for State Defence, Bello Matawalle.
Chairman of the group, Alhaji Ashiru Tukur, in a statement noted that no amount of sponsored protests and propaganda against the Minister would stand.
“Our findings have shown that some of these characters traveled from their states, using public funds to mobilize and hire jobless youths in Abuja to intensify their propaganda and campaign of calumny against perceived political enemies.
These are political jobbers who have abandoned their constituents to poverty, insecurity and economic challenges back home only to come to the Nigeria seat of power and waste public resources in their care to pursue a mission to nowhere leveraging allegations without substance.
“For example, those campaigning against the former governor of Zamfara State and current Minister of State Defence, Bello Mohammed Matawalle, are ignorant of the law, due process, and modus operandi of institutions like EFCC.
“The same character who boasted of spending billions of naira on President Tinubu’s campaign is facing the same accusations of neglecting his constituent with squalor, hunger and insecurity challenges, while allegedly sponsoring mischiefs and political propaganda against the personality of Matawalle and Sen Yari for actualisation of his ambition to be governor of Zamfara state in 2027.
All the Ministerial nominees of President Bola Tinubu followed due process as tradition demands before they were cleared by the National Assembly which is why we are concerned about this incessant unnecessary protest to remind the EFCC of its responsibility.
“We have also noticed the conivance of People’s Democratic Party (PDP)’s led government of Zamfara State with a member of the House of Representatives from Zamfara, financing such protests around Abuja. To us, this is rather too demeaning for the Zamfara people who are dire need of security of lives and property at the moment.
“So, this unpopular propaganda against the duo of Matawalle and Abdul’aziz Yari, must be stop, because it cannot hold water; because these are Nigerians who have been progressing in their political journey.
“These are not ordinary Nigerians in terms of recognition, networking and political supports across the country.
We specifically call on Hon Sani Jaji the alleged grandmaster of all these comedy to face his legislative duty and bring development to his constituents, instead of financing such failed project along with PDP government of Zamfara state.
“Zamfara is in dire need of peace and political stability which is why those with sense of reasoning must come together as a united force to fight the ravaging insecurity and other challenges that have retarded its progress.
“We therefore pray for peaceful, progressive and political stable Zamfara State, North West and Nigeria as a whole.
“We sincerely commend the maturity so far shown by Hon Matawalle on the issues and we urge him to continue to be doing good things for the people of the state, nation in general”.
