Matawalle,Zamfara

The Zamfara State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has condemned protests against the Minister of State for Defence, Bello Mohammed Matawalle. The protesters had marched to ghd headquarters of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, in Abuja, demanding the investigation of corruption allegations against the minister.

However, in a statement on Sunday, the Zamfara APC described the protesters as a rented crowd. The statement was issued by the Zamfara State APC Publicity Secretary, Malam Yusuf Idris Gusau and made available to newsmen in Gusau. The statement stressed the allegations against Matawalle are false. 'In fact, if the claims were true, the EFCC would have since made the details available to the public,' the statement added.

'Such protest have been coming from Matawalle's political rivals organized by a few people from Matawalle's home State, sometimes using non Zamfara indigenes who never knew the road to Zamfara and the latest, using people idling in the outskirts of Abuja and beggars to hold placards that they could not even read what the content said against the Minister.
