Gov. Matawalle Applauds Coalition Of Groups For Form Fee Donation
Governor Bello Mohammed (Matawallen Maradun) has expressed his warmest appreciation and gratitude for the coalition of 102 groups under the aegis of ZAMFARA DECIDES, who taxed themselves to raise the stipulated fee for the contest of Governorship primaries under the All Progressives Party.
Governor Matawalle, who traveled on Umrah about two weeks ago, said he was greeted on a pleasing news that in his absence, concerned Zamfara citizens made up their minds to beat the deadline of purchase of forms to ensure he contests the primaries.
“I am touched that Zamfara people will pre-empt my efforts and ensure they draft me into the primaries on their own volition, not my personal interest. I want to assure you that I will not fail our dear state in whatever the people wish me to be”, Governor Matawalle assured.
“This singular act indicate your position as to the efforts we have been making to reposition our state onto the path of peace and progress”, Governor Matawalle noted. He then assured that he will not fail in his bid to put all the best he can muster for the rejuvenation of Zamfara state.
It will be recalled that a coalition of groups under the aegis of ZAMFARA DECIDES in the state announced its intention to draft Governor Matawalle into re-contesting the Governorship position for a second term. The Group fulfilled its promise with a presentation of the stipulated N50 million cheque this morning and was received on behalf of Governor Matawalle by the Acting Governor, Senator Hassan Mohammed Nasiha Gusau.
While presenting the cheque, leader of the group, Barrister Surajo Haske said they took the decision to support Governor Matawalle to participate in the oncoming gubernatorial elections in the state due to the massive efforts employed in the last three years to bring lasting peace to the state and re-position it on the path of solid infrastructural development and economic emancipation.

Confusion trails Adamawa State Governorship supplementary election as Resident Electoral Commissioner, Hudu Yunusa-Ari assumes the role of Returning Officer to announce Aishatu Ahmed Binani of the All Progressives Congress, the APC winner.
There is tension at the INEC state collation centre in Yola where the final collation of results from last Saturday’s supplementary governorship election was expected to be concluded on Sunday morning
The Resident Electoral Commissioner Hudu Yunusa-Ari, who had been reportedly asked to step aside due to controversies that trailed his conduct in the March 18 election, suddenly turned up at the collation centre on Sunday morning at about 9 am to announce APC’s Aishatu Ahmed Binani as winner.
The INEC Returning Officer for the election is Professor Mohammed Mele who was in charge of the process of collation at the conclusion of the supplementary election on Saturday, along with two supervising INEC National Commissioners
Only results from supplementary elections in 10 local government areas were announced before the exercise was adjourned at about 1 am on Sunday by the Returning Officer to resume again by 11 am.
However, by the time journalists arrived at the state collation centre, they were informed that the REC had come at about 9 am to announce a winner, amid protests by party agents who challenged his powers to usurp the position of the Returning Officer.
As of the time of filing this report, the Returning Officer Professor Mohammed Mele and the two supervising National Commissioners are yet to arrive at the Collation Centre and could not be reached.
Meanwhile, security has been beefed up as tension is already high in the area.

The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC has suspended the collation of results in Adamawa State Governorship supplementary election till further notice. This follows interference with the process by the Adamawa State Resident Electoral Commissioner, REC Hudu Yunusa-Ari.
INEC in a statement by the National Commissioner in charge of Information and Voter Education, Festus Okoye says the action of the REC, Hudu Yunusa-Ari to announce Aishatu Ahmed Binani of APC winner of Governorship election is “usurpation of the power of the Returning Officer”.
