FCT, Abuja - The Zamfara State government has been alleged of prioritising family and friends over the welfare of the masses.

This allegation was made by Anas Abdullahi Kaura, the spokesperson to the former governor of Zamfara State, Bello Matawalle, while speaking to reporters in Abuja.

Kaura expressed his displeasure over the current state of insecurity in Zamafara, stating that the current administration has yet to clamp down on the state's constant attacks and insecurity challenges.

As reported by Leadership, he said:

"In less than sixty days since the new government of Zamfara assumed power, over one thousand people were killed, and more than five hundred others were abducted."

"Reports also revealed that the new Zamfara state government terminated the employment of over ten thousand individuals, highlighting their evident failure. Many Zamfara state natives are now praising the former governor, Dr Bello Matawalle, for his timely and complaint-free payment of monthly salaries, particularly for youth inclusion.

"This contrast reveals that the new Zamfara government seems to prioritize family and friends over the welfare of the masses."
