Governor Bello Matawalle of Zamfara has called on leaders and supporters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to put their house in order for the party to retain power in 2023.

Mr Matawalle made the call on Monday.

He attributed the reconciliation success among stakeholders of the APC in Zamfara to divine intervention.

“It was not my making but a divine intervention. Now that we are all one and united family in Zamfara state, we will collectively focus on the 2023 elections and ensure that our party succeeds at all levels,” said the governor. “With this reconciliation, I have the conviction that APC will win all elections at the polls in 2023.”

On May 9, APC national chairman Abdullahi Adamu announced the resolution of the protracted crisis rocking the party in Zamfara.

He said the rival factions led by Mr Matawalle and his predecessor Abdulazeez Yari had agreed to work together.

The two Zamfara APC leaders announced the truce at the party’s national secretariat.

Mr Adamu said the resolution would be in the overall interest of the party ahead of the 2023 general elections.

He urged Zamfara APC members to abide by the word and letter of the accord and learn to show respect to one another.

“They have agreed to work together for the success of our great party. We have informed the residents of the progress that we are making and I am grateful to the Almighty God that we have been able to reach an accord between the former governor, current governor and their esteemed followers,” explained the APC chair.

He added, “We have every reason to thank God and believe that the 2023 general elections in Zamfara is a given for the APC.”
