Speaking during his ongoing five-day visit to Zamfara, Matawalle, who was a former governor of the state, commended President Tinubu’s exceptional support for Local Government Councils and state governments, describing it as unparalleled.

He urged them to remain law-abiding and committed to the party’s vision.
