The Minister of State for Defense and former governor of Zamfara State, Bello Matawalle, has reiterated his loyalty to the All Progressives Congress (APC) and commended members of the party for their strong support.
During a six-day visit to Zamfara, Matawalle welcomed his supporters at his residence in Gusau where he announced donations worth millions of naira to bolster the APC and allied groups in the state.
He described the contributions as part of efforts to strengthen the party's structure and ensure its continued success.
Furthermore, Matawalle revealed that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu had provided a significant amount of rice for distribution to APC supporters across Zamfara.
He said a committee has been established to oversee the fair allocation of items, he added, emphasizing the president's solidarity with the party's rank and file.
The former governor stressed the need for unity among APC members and promised regular engagement with his supporters to foster dialogue and progress.
He also highlighted his collaboration with Senator Abdul'aziz Yari Abubakar to promote the party's agenda.
Matawalle thanked President Tinubu for prioritizing infrastructure in Zamfara, particularly the dualization of the Zaria-Funtua-Gusau-Sokoto road, which he noted was already under construction.
On security, Matawalle assured Zamfara residents of the Federal Government's determination to put an end to banditry.
He revealed that President Tinubu had approved the procurement of advanced military equipment, including armored personnel carriers and fighter jets, some of which have already been delivered. These measures, he said, signal a strong federal commitment to restoring peace in the region.
Matawalle's visit served to strengthen his bond with the people of Zamfara, underlining his dedication to the state and the nation at large.
