The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Zamfara has refuted accusations that several of Governor Bello Matawalle’s personal aides defected to the party, according to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state.
On social media this week, there were rumours that some of the governor’s personal aides had left the APC for the main opposition group in Zamfara.
However, the party referred to the accusations as false information in a statement released on Friday in Gusau by Yusuf Idris, the state’s press secretary.
In June 2021, Governor Matawalle changed parties to the APC.
“It will be good to clear the minds of Nigerians that Zamfara people are well informed about who those imposters are.
“The three persons who deceptively posed as advisers, Alhaji Hamisu Magami, Alhaji Abubakar Maigandi, and Alhaji Yunusa Rosy are not Special Advisers to Governor Bello Matawalle.
“They only served as advisers under the immediate past administration of former governor of the state, Alhaji Abdulaziz Yari.
“They have no significant roles in the present leadership of Governor Bello Matawalle.”
