Reactions have continued to trail the defection of Governor
Bello Muhammad Matawalle of Zamfara State from the People Democratic Party
(PDP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
The Personal Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on
Digital and New Media, Bashir Ahmed, had earlier disclosed that the governor
had returned to the ruling party.
The presidential aide, who made the disclosure via a post on
his verified Facebook page on Sunday morning, wrote ‘’So Zamfara is back home!
Welcome, Matawalle’’.
However, there is no official statement to confirm that the
governor has officially joined the party as at press time but Bashir’s post has
triggered reactions on social media.
Some Nigerians who reacted to the report on Facebook,
described Nigerian politicians as “political prostitutes” who are desperate
about acquiring power.
Some lamented the lackadaisical attitudes of the Nigerian
leaders towards the current deteriorating security situation across the
country, stating that “they don’t care about us”.
Zamfara State is one of the worst
hit states in the Northwest by the activities of bandits who have consistently
killed numbers of residents and abducted schoolchildren from different places
of learning.
Here are some of the reactions:
Jephthah Ikedi: “Governor doesn’t vote themselves to power,
the people do. With the level of insecurity in Nigeria APC becomes invalid to
Nigerians”.
Comr Abdulkadiri Dantsoho: “What’s wrong with Nigerian
Leaders? APC spend 6 years in power with nothing to show and now some of our
governors are decamping to the ruling party for them to rig the 2023 Election
mtsw!”.
Malam Mukhtar: “Power drunkard! It’s not new, something that
comes surprising because it’s a normal and tradition for electees to jump into
different homes they wished.
“Most people who are joining the APC party were power
drunkards and political prostitutes that just wanted to live in enjoyment and
power for long periods.
“All these are planning to rig elections and steal the
mandate of ordinary Nigerians. Ideology no longer exists in politics”.
Comr Wale Olamide: “Do they even care about their
electorates? How can the governor be making such a move when his state is
bleeding with the highest level of insecurity? They just don’t care about us.
“All they think is how to retain seats in 2023 without
thinking about whether the election would hold or not. It is a shame”.
