Governor of Zamfara State, Bello Matawalle stated emphatically that he will not tolerate any sort of disrespectfulness from Mahdi Aliyu, his deputy.
This comes after Matawalle’s deputy at a recent political rally affirmed again his loyalty to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The Zamfara governor who promised to work with the deputy governor stated that he won’t tolerate any disrespectful attitude from him while reacting to his deputy organizing rallies while people are being killed.
“As governor of the state, I promised to work together with the deputy governor irrespective of our political affiliations. But I won’t tolerate a disrespectful attitude from him.
“I won’t join issue with him but if he dares me, I will give him the treatment he deserves,” the governor said.
“We all agreed to halt any political rally welcoming politicians into the state since we lost some of our supporters while welcoming us.
“The deputy governor should have notified me of whatever he planned to do. Being of different political parties does not mean I am no longer his boss. Since the defection, he has stopped associating with me.
“I am the chief security officer of the state. I won’t tolerate any person trying to breach the security of the state,”
