The Zamfara State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has expressed regret over the destruction of property at the Gusau Villa of former Governor Bello Matawere following nationwide protests.

This was contained in a statement issued by the party’s Public Relations Officer, Malam Yusuf Idris Gusau, made available to newsmen in Gusau, the state capital.

“We observed that many PDP thugs are strategically positioned to attack, mutilate and destroy the personalities and properties of the APC.

“What is most disturbing is that today, Thursday, the first day of the protest, some already known PDP thugs attempted to vandalise the private residence of former Governor Bello Mohammed Matawalle but security operatives quickly intervened and thwarted them.

“This shows that if allowed, the thugs who would have carried out the directives of their leader would have vandalised the minister's house and properties.”

“Of course, the APC, especially our leader and Minister of State for Defence, Dr Bello Mohammed Matawalle, whose house was robbed by the same thugs last year, will not tolerate a repetition of such inept behaviour,” he said in a statement.

He alleged that the thugs also attacked Senator Sahabi Yau’s residence in Kaura Namoda, his hometown, destroying many valuables.

“We had predicted earlier that the protests could be hijacked by thugs and other miscreants in the state which they carried out.

“We plead with security agencies in the state to grant the desired protection to lives and properties of our members and all goodwill citizens.”

“We urge the youth not to be exploited by bad politicians as the nationwide protests are meant to be peaceful and address national concerns.”

“The protest is the constitutional right of Nigerians and should be peaceful and without any threat to lives or property.”

“We commend the proactiveness of security agencies in the state for their swift intervention,” he added.
