Zamfara State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has expressed dismay over the destruction of former governor, Bello Matawelle’s properties at his Gusau’s country home following the nationwide protest.
This was contained in a statement issued by the party publicity secretary, Mallam Yusuf Idris Gusau, which was made available to newsmen in Gusau, the state capital.
Quote
“We observed that many PDP thugs were strategically deployed to attack, maim, and destroy personalities and properties of the APC.
“Most disturbing was how on the first day of the protest, today, Thursday, the already known PDP thugs aimed at the former governor Bello Mohammed Matawalle’s personal residence for destruction but for the quick intervention of security personnel who blocked them.
“This indicated that, if allowed, the thugs who were most likely implementing the directives of their leaders would have razed down the minister’s house and property.
“Certainly, the APC, especially our leader, the Minister of State for Defence, Dr. Bello Mohammed Matawalle, whose residence was burgled last year by the same thugs will not allow a repeat of this unbecoming attitude,”

We have earlier forecast the possible hijacking of the protest by the hoodlums and other miscreants in the state which they actualized.
“We wish to implore security agencies in the State to give our members and all well-meaning citizens the desired protection of lives and property.
“We also want to call on our youths not to allow themselves to be used by bad politicians, especially as the nationwide protest is supposed to be peaceful and address concerns in the country.
“This protest, which is a constitutional right of Nigerians, should be peaceful and without any threat to life and property.
“We commend the proactiveness of the security agencies in the state for their quick intervention,”
