Gov. Bello Matawalle of Zamfara has given reasons a former governor of the state, Alhaji Abdul’Aziz Yari and other illustrious persons were chosen to lead the Zamfara chapter of the Tinubu/Shettima election campaign and his re-election.
While Sen. Kabiru Marafa was appointed the State Co-ordinator of the Tinubu/Shettima Presidential campaign, Alhaji Abdul’Aziz Yari was to chair Gov. Matawalle’s re-election campaign.
Matawalle said they were chosen after “careful and wide consultations”.
According to him, it was “overwhelmingly decided that the assignment of mobilizing support for the APC to attain the desired victory in the 2023 polls be headed by these distinguished and illustrious personalities.”
He said that their appointments were in recognition of their proven integrity and willingness to make sacrifices for the state and country.
The governor made this known on Friday while inaugurating the Presidential and Gubernatorial Campaign Councils of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Gusau, Zamfara.

“I am confident that you have the capacity and all it takes to ensure the victory of the APC in the 2023 general elections”, Matawalle said.
He urged them to ensure that all electioneering activities were conducted within the ambit of the law and in line with the Electoral Act 2022 as amended.
Matawalle enjoined them to mobilise resources at their disposal and convey to the wider public the mission and vision of the APC Presidential Candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu to the people of Zamfara.
He urged the campaign council to devise strategies through consultations with stakeholders, including community and religious leaders, trade and other groups ready to contribute towards achieving the desired objectives.
