“Governor Bello has been a senior brother to me because he is a very close friend of my elder brother.

“The struggle we made that saw us to the Supreme Court was not done to put PDP in government, it was done to defend our collective rights and that of our people.

“My gratitude, therefore, goes to Allah (SWT) then to Governor Bello for finding me suitable to be appointed as his special adviser out of over four million people in Zamfara state,” he said in the statement.

He revealed that before tendering his resignation, he intimated his brother, Senator Marafa who supported and advised him to inform Governor Matawalle.

“Like my brother, I will always pray and work for the success of Matawalle's administration because his success, is ours. I'm ready to make any sacrifice for our beloved state,” he said.

Meanwhile, a newly appointed aide to the governor of Zamfara state, Jamilu Zannah, has rejected his appointment by Governor Matawalle as a commissioner in the state.
