TERROR ATTACKS HAVE DRASTICALLY REDUCED IN ZAMFARA – GOVERNOR BELLO MATAWALLE
Governor of Zamfara State, Bello Matawalle, has said terror attacks in Zamfara State have drastically reduced.
This comes after the All Progressive Congress (APC) alleged that the Governor is responsible for sponsoring banditry in Zamfara State.
Governor Matawalle, a member of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), responding to the allegations in a statement on his official Twitter handle on Sunday, described them as ‘malicious and insulting’
He said; “I find it insulting that the Apc is accusing me of sponsoring bandits in my own state. We all are living witnesses to the fact that during Apc’s tenure, Zamfara state was adjudged as a colony of banditry in the whole world.

“We are not claiming that insecurity has totally been eliminated in Zamfara but it is on record that terror attacks have reduced drastically in the state in less than two years than Apc’s unfortunate eight years when people were running away from the State.
“This is a malicious calumny by the ruling party, releasing a statement as sensitive as that, knowing fully how miserable they governed the state for the past years. Their statement is not only laughable but shows the type of leadership they have.”
Recall that on December 7, Governor Babagana Zulum of Borno State said the security situation in the State has improved under the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.
This was days after Boko Haram terrorists massacred about 43 rice farmers and injured six others at Zabarmari village, Borno State.
