Governor Bello Matawalle of Zamfara has offered to resign if taking such step will bring a lasting solution to the high level of insecurity in his state.

Zamfara is one of the north-west states affected by banditry.

Many persons have been killed while countless people have been abducted in attacks by different armed gangs.

Responding to the disturbing trend in the state, the federal government declared Zamfara a no-fly zone on Tuesday and also banned mining activities there.

Malam Garba Shehu, Presidential Spokesman, had told Daily Trust that the action was taken based on the suspicion that choppers ferry in arms for bandits.

Speaking when he featured on Politics Today, a Channels Television programme, on Wednesday, Matawalle said he does not mind using his job as a sacrifice for peace to reign.

“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.”

The governor who has been pushing for dialogue with bandits also defended his stance.

He said repentant bandits facilitated the release of students of Government Girls Secondary School, Jangebe, who were adducted last week.

“People are saying amnesty, it is not about amnesty. What amnesty means maybe is the federal government provides some huge amount of money,” he said.

“Nobody gave amnesty to these people, we only convince them to give them some trading in various skills as skills acquisition.

“We are not giving them kobo, we are not giving them anything. People talk about amnesty, is like people are thinking that huge amount of money was collected and given to them.

“No single kobo was given to them, any of them who repented, nothing was given to them.”

The governor, who had earlier rejected the decision of the federal government to declare the state a no-fly zone, the governor said: “The decision of Mr President on the no-fly zone, I accept it and I agree with that. People don’t even know that Zamfara does not have an airport. So, the states that have airports and are encountering this kind of situation, what happens to them?”

Easy said than done

Believe this at your own peril

Shithole governor to resign because of high level of insecurity in his state? not in zoo republic please


But truth be said, if he resign, that will be so noble of him, and he will earned people's respect. Let a competent hand take over.


Still waiting for Jubril to make such statement even if it's a prank

Too good to be true
Not in Nigeria

Joke of the month!



An average Nigerian politician rather die than resign.

“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.”

This is very unlike the average public office holders we have in the country, especially the Commander-In-Chief who during election campaign, vowed to lead the battle against insurgencies from the front but now clueless and helpless.

In which country this kind of thing will happen? I don't think it's in Nigeria

You didn't read the news:

His types are rare in Nigeria. In Nigeria leaving a position is like your enemies have won over you.

For how long will you Nigerians get deceived before you learn? See how you swallowed the taqiya tactics line-hook-and-sinker. He is not power-hungry. So, what stops him from resigning since it's obvious he is incapable?

Meanwhile, he wants to negotiate with bandits - on what ground? Like Niger Delta militants asking for resource control and IPOB asking for a referendum, what are the bandits asking for to deserve a roundtable?

These people are just trading on your head like forex while you are here with your keyboard spewing your naivete.

Is he willing to resign or he is being forced to resign. Nigerians hardly resign from Government positions, they either exhaust their tenure, die in service or will it to their children.










Bampeh know their tactics

Really? This Governors don't have senses.
The northern gov. Should petition for a quick trial and prosecution of Buhari if his anti corruption fight is not just a mere lip service & fruitless
