Governor Dauda Lawal of Zamfara State says the appointment of his predecessor, Bello Matawalle, as the Minister of State for Defence has not confer any advantage on the state.
When asked whether Matawalle’s office as Minister of State for Defence has helped in any way to combat the menace of banditry plaguing Zamfara, Lawal said, “It is always interesting when this Minister of Defence thing comes up. Yeah, he is Minister of State, Defence, but of what benefit to us?
“Just about few weeks ago, bandits went to his hometown, killed many people, what has he done about it? Yes, we have Minister of Defence but of what benefit to Zamfara State?”
