The Minister of State for Defence, Bello Mohammed Matawalle, has provided vehicles to eight members of the Zamfara State House of Assembly who recently returned to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The vehicles are intended to facilitate the lawmakers’ return to Zamfara State and enable them to resume political engagements and mobilisation ahead of the 2027 general elections.
A statement issued further stated that the gesture follows President Bola Tinubu’s reported directive urging the lawmakers to return to the state and work towards strengthening party unity and cohesion ahead of the polls.
Mohammed Bello Matawalle, who was a former governor of Zamfara State, reportedly ordered the immediate release of the vehicles to ease the lawmakers’ transportation challenges and support their political activities in their respective constituencies.
Presenting the vehicles to the eight lawmakers, Managing Director of Nigeria Agricultural Insurance Corporation (NAIC), Mr Yazid Shehu Danfulani, described the gesture as one of the attributes of Minister Mohammed Bello Matawalle to ensure unity, cohesion and political understanding among all the stakeholders of the APC in Zamfara State.
This singular effort is also being viewed by party stakeholders in Zamfara State as part of efforts to consolidate the reconciliation process involving the lawmakers and the minister.
Speaking on behalf of his colleagues, Hon. Aliyu Ango Kagara thanked Minister Matawalle for the gesture and promised to work assiduously for the success of President Tinubu in the forthcoming general election.
The vehicles were provided following the lawmakers’ return to the APC after a period of political disagreement.
