The statement read:
"Funny enough, since members of the PDP were exposed for having used some corrupt army officers without the knowledge of the army high command, now that they cannot use the same method, they have resolved to blackmailing the police for trying to do the right thing of ensuring a peaceful process.
"The purported release which was unsigned, was said to have emanated from the office of the governor elect and alleged a friendship existing between the IGP and Matawalle which is unfounded, because if Matawalle had the IGP, there would have been stronger resistance when the PDP used soldiers against the APC.
"Matawalle is a peace loving gentleman who will stop at nothing for the safety of his people and this is a principle no one can deny him of, so the PDP should face what they have caused Zamfara people and stop the unwarranted blames.
"Recall that when the electoral umpire declared Dauda Lawal Dare as the winner of the March 18, governorship election in the state, PDP thugs went haywire destroying and stealing government and APC private individuals properties especially in the state capital, Gusau."

Meanwhile, the Centre for Africa Liberation and Socio-Economic Rights (CALSER) has accused Governor Bello Matawalle of displaying undemocratic tendencies following his defeat at the last election.
The centre, at a press conference attended by Legit.ng, on Sunday in Abuja, said the utterly bitter Matawalle has blamed a myriad of factors for his loss at the polls, ranging from the naira redesign to most recently, the military.
In his address, Okwa Daniels, the director of communication and Strategy said the governor is now inciting the public in a manner that could enable anarchists to disrupt the peace of the land.
