The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Zamfara State has resolved to sue the Minister of State for Defence, Bello Mattawalle, for allegedly defaming the Governor Dauda Lawal.
A statement issued by spokesperson, Halliru Andi, said the Zamfara State PDP Working Committee (SWC) under the leadership of Dr. Jamil Jibo Magayaki is considering dragging Matawalle to court for alleged character assassination and baseless claims against Lawal.
“We have been monitoring the body language and unguarded utterances of Bello Matawalle and are considering court action against him.
“We have resolved to initiate legal action against him just to remind him of his limits as Junior Minister without immunity and to serve as deterrent to other egoistic politicians in the state,” the Zamfara PDP said.
The statement said PDP would no longer tolerate the politics of bitterness from Matawalle’s faction of the APC.
