Protest: PDP Protestors targeting Mattawale's resident ,APC leaders in Zamfara - Spokesperson alleges



From Ahmed Attahir 


The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Zamfara State has alleged that the protesters were largely People's Democratic party (PDP) targeting resident of minister of state for defense Bello Mohammed Mattawale and other APC leaders in the state.

In a statement issued to newsmen in Gusau on Thursday night,the state APC publicity secretary Yusuf Idris said they were disturbed by the dimension the nationwide supposed peaceful protest took in the state.

"This is because we observed that many PDP thugs were strategically deployed to attack, maim, and destroy personalities and properties of the APC".

According to the statement,"Most disturbing was how on the first day of the protest, today, Thursday, the already known PDP thugs aimed at the former governor Bello Mohammed Matawalle's personal residence for destruction but for the quick intervention of security personnel who blocked them".

"This indicated that if allowed, the thugs who were most likely implementing the directives of their leaders would have razed down the minister's house and property".

"Certainly, the APC, especially our leader, the Minister of State for Defence, Dr. Bello Mohammed Matawalle, whose residence was burgled last year by the same thugs will not allow a repeat of this unbecoming attitude".

"The thugs also attacked the residence of Senator Sahabi Yau at his home town of Kaura Namoda where they destroyed many valuables and damaged his Toyota hilux in the name of peaceful protest".

"We have earlier forecast  the possible hijacking of the protest by the hoodlums and other miscreants in the state which they actualized".

"We wish to implore security agencies in the state to give our members and all well-meaning citizens the desired protection to lives and property".

"We also want to call on our youths not to allow themselves to be used by bad politicians, especially as the nationwide protest is supposed to be peaceful and address concerns in the country".

 The APC stated that the protest is a constitutional right of Nigerians but, should be peaceful and without any threat to life and property.

"We commend the proactiveness of the security agencies in the state for their quick intervention".  He said
