Following the rapid hike in insecurity, the Governor of Zamfara State, Bello Matawalle has announced that he would resign his position if that will bring peace to the State.
Matawalle, who spoke on National Television , disclosed this when asked if he is intimidated by the Federal Government’s declaration of a ‘No-Fly Zone’ in his state.
He explained that he is not power-hungry, adding that he has been having a sleepless night to protect the people of Zamfara.
The governor said: “I am ready to accept any solution that will bring security to my state.
“I am not intimidated. If I know that my resigning as a governor will make the people sleep with their two eyes closed, I can resign. I am ready to do what will bring security.
“I am not power-hungry. I have been having a sleepless night to protect the people of Zamfara State.”
