The North-Central Asiwaju Support Group has joined its counterparts in other zones to commend President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for nominating former Zamfara State Governor, Bello Muhammad, as minister.
The support group, in a statement by its Chairman, Abba Rios Lawal, on Tuesday, in Abuja, described Matawalle’s nomination as a step in the right direction.
“We cannot easily forget the immense support and encouragement extended to us throughout the electoral campaign for the Asiwaju presidency.
“Matawalle was so supportive to us even though he was not from the North-Central Zone and his assignment was only limited to the South-West, ” Lawal said
The group said as minister, Matawalle is capable and amply equipped to make a great difference.
“In the choice of Matawalle, the President has displayed great wisdom and foresight and without any doubt, we can boldly say that he will be happy he did, ” it said.
Lawal, while congratulating Abdullahi Umar Ganduje for ascension as national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), thanked President Tinubu for making it possible.
“This is another proof that President Tinubu is a reliable great statesman who stands by his words in spite of all odds. By this, our Group has resolved to request for permission to pay a courtesy call on the new national chairman to restate its solidarity and commitment to the APC, ” Lawal added.
