Tajudeen Yusuf, member of the house of representatives from Kogi state, says Bello Matawalle, governor of Zamfara, is a politician desperate for a second term in office.
Yusuf, a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), said this in reaction to the defection of Matawalle to the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Tuesday.
In a statement on Wednesday, the Kogi lawmaker accused Matawalle of non-performance, adding that the Zamfara governor is not a politician any party should be proud of.
“Water will always find its level; it is sad that after being elevated into governorship, Mutawalle is now a mere pawn running helter-skelter in desperate pursuit of a return ticket he’s hardly qualified for with his very dim performance and the outrageous explosion of insecurity under his watch,” the lawmaker said.

“As a matter of fact, he is one governor about whom no serious political party could have been proud of, in any way; in infrastructural development, human capital development, security for his people and many other indices, it is a haul of failed grades all the way!
“It is only a desperate political party that can be desperate for such a desperate man, who is in a desperate situation politically and otherwise; let them go with him while we prepare a more serious person for his position in the next election.
“After all the utopian promises of 2014, APC has foisted decadence in all sectors, yet, you can see the number of governors and federal officials who dropped their statutory responsibilities for a frivolous trip to welcome a thoroughly underwhelming performer.”

The lawmaker added that Matawalle has “bitten the hands that fed him” and he “clearly runs the risk of becoming an orphaned political has-been by the end of 2023”.
