Governor Dare, a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), recently claimed victory over Matawalle of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state’s governorship election held in March 2023.
Now, he accuses Matawalle of taking away 17 government vehicles and other property.
Financial Strain Left Behind
Speaking on Vision FM, a local radio station in Gusau, the capital city of Zamfara State, Governor Dare revealed that Matawalle not only made off with vehicles but also left the state government financially drained.
According to Dare, the former governor claimed that the vehicles were his personal possessions, leaving behind no office equipment or other government property.
Governor’s Strong Reaction
Governor Dare expressed his disbelief and described Matawalle’s alleged actions as “beyond comprehension.”
He pledged to rectify the situation, assuring the citizens of Zamfara State that steps would be taken to address these anomalies.

EFCC Investigation and Response from Matawalle
