                     By            Fidelis Mac-Leva The teeming readers of this highly respected newspaper of northern Nigeria divide, might have read an article on Daily Trust Newspaper on Sunday, 10 Apr 2022, being an investigative report by one of its reporters Fedelis Mac - Leva where he castigated the government of His Excellency Governor Bello Matawallen Maradun for what Fidelis described as deliberate refusal by the governor to fund the university, but without cogent prove or evidence of the conclusion of his speculative hypothesis called investigative.

  On sunday April 17th 2022, the Nigerian social media platforms were awash of a story that the former Gov of Zamfara state and a one time chairman of the Nigeria Governors' Forum Abdulaziz Yari defected from the ruling All Progressives Congress APC to the opposition Peoples Democratic Party PDP along with Senator Kabiru Marafa and their supporters. Hours after that announcement by the PDP chairman in Zamfara, Senator Kabiru Mafara in a telephone interview with Tambarin Hausa tv countered that announcement by denying their defection to the PDP. This cock and bull story has brought confusion, disarray and shame, not only within the Yari and Marafa camps, but to the PDP and the entire Nigerians. The disagreement by Marafa is an indication that there has never been any agreement nor mutual trust and understanding amongst them.   Yari has been running helter skelter disagreeing with either the APC Zamfara or the National Headquarters of the party, not even the leader President Muh...

For reality, the interaction between Zamfara state Governor Bello Matawalle and labour leaders during a special breakfast session (Iftar) few days back has brought an end to the lingering “war of words” between the duo over implementation of the (N30,000) minimum wage to state workers. The facts presented by the Governor are both straight and for me, the labour leaders should have work for the last option proposed by the Governor which aimed at getting all revenue generating agencies sitting up to their corporate responsibilities by getting the IGR improved. From the beginning, the Governor has raised a very fundamental point that the economic reality in Zamfara for now may not allow for the implementation of the (N30,000) minimum wage considering what the state is earning from the federation account and couple with the on-the-spot deduction the state suffered from banks due to debt incurred by the immediate past government of Yari. Governor Bello Matawalle has made it categorically cl...
