2027: Matawalle Gifts Vehicles to Eight Zamfara Lawmakers Who Returned to APC

Onuminya Innocent Minister of State for Defence, Dr. Bello Matawalle, has donated vehicles to eight members of Zamfara State House of Assembly, who recently returned to All Progressives Congress (APC).

Minister of State for Defence Dr. Bello Matawalle has presented vehicles to eight former Zamfara State House of Assembly members who returned to the All Progressives Congress (APC). The vehicles were intended to help the lawmakers resume their political activities in their constituencies, ahead of the 2027 general election. The move was seen as an effort to bolster the party's grassroots structure in the state, following President Bola Tinubu's call for lawmakers to return to work on enhancing unity and cohesion within the APC.

Matawalle, a former governor of Zamfara State, ordered the immediate release of the vehicles to address transportation issues faced by the lawmakers. Speaking on their behalf, party member Hon. Aliyu Kagara expressed gratitude to Matawalle for the gesture and pledged their loyalty to the party and the forthcoming elections.
