Leave Emefiele alone, face the fate that awaits you after leaving office, AYA tells Matawalle
By: Femi Mustapha.
The Arewa Youth Assembly has called on the Governor of Zamfara, Bello Matawalle to be afraid of the fate that await him when he leaves office and stopped being concerned about the destiny of CBN Governor Mr. Godwin Emefiele who is serving Nigerians diligently.
The Publicity Secretary of the Assembly Alh. Aliyu Sani asserted this during a press conference held in Kaduna yesterday.
The Assembly expressed dismay that a personality like Matawalle will swallow every content emanating from the media outfit which shows that their publications on Zamfara alleging that the Matawalle-led government in Zamfara awarded multi Billion Naira Contracts in Zamfara without following due process not far from the truth.
They added that despite The Office of the President, through one of its Spokespersons, Mallam Garba Shehu refuted any existence of the imaginary study leave, the Zamfara Governor reacted “If the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele, has been granted study leave supposedly by President Muhammadu Buhari, this is unknown to us. It is also unknown to the president’s secretariat headed by the Chief of Staff.”
“We wish to challenge Matawalle to make Public the number of persons kidnapped in Zamfara State when the Naira was not in excessive circulation and the reintroduction of the Naira following his Pyrrhic victory in Court that forced the CBN to recirculate Naira notes.
“If he can answer this in public, Nigerians will know who has the solution to the problem of insecurity in the country.
“The Governor that has failed his people and the North in terms of security, education, economy and infrastructural development ought not to be heard discussing the national issue.
“We are in a country where shameless people are the leaders, they wouldn’t mind exporting their show of shame to the global stage. otherwise, how can a man under whose watch over 200 people were killed in 2022 in just two days, with thousands abducted daily.
“The same state recorded 703 deaths, according to The cable index, which is the highest in the Country, still dares to attack another Public Servant with an unblemished record.
“As a governor, you have failed to guarantee the right to life provided for in the 1999 Constitution of Nigeria (as amended) in Sec 33, which clearly states that every person has a right to life and Article 3 of the Universal Declaration on Human Right that states everyone has a right to life, liberty and security.
“Zamfara is one of the poorest states in the world and the poorest in Nigeria. A report by the National Social Registry stated that Zamfara has the highest number of poor and vulnerable people in Nigeria, with a record of 3,836,484 people from 825,337 households.
“Your failure to provide security in the state has halted educational activities, with the closure of schools. At least 75 secondary schools in the state are still shut because of security, tagging the state as an educationally backward state.
“Zamfara state has a total of 61.4% of children out of school, with boys at 57.4% and girls at 66%.

“While you couldn’t do anything about the situation of your people, Emefiele was busy working hard, feeding the nation, your people inclusive, boosting the economy impacting all sectors through various programs Viza viz; Anchor Borrowers’ Programme, Commercial Agriculture Credit Scheme, CBN’s Intervention Programmes and Schemes for MSMEs, CBN’s Intervention Programmes and Schemes for Manufacturing, CBN’s Intervention Programmes and Schemes for Export.”
