The circumstances of his victory on the gubernatorial election in addition to subsequent victory on the Election petition Tribunal didn’t give room for sound sleep. He knew that when pushing involves shoving, the previous Governor held the aces within the State politically.
Dauda Lawal having realised that it might be troublesome to maintain Matawalle’s new affect underneath test as Minister of State for Defence hatched one other plan after his first strikes to indict him by the cargo Airport controversy.This was to hoodwink a former aides to Matawalle who might present info on his actions whereas in authorities.
This was what led to the disclosing of Bashir Hadejia, who we’ll dwell on later within the write-up

The unique plan was to color Bello Matawalle black over his achievements as Governor of Zamfara between 2019 and 2023. This nonetheless failed flat because the folks of the state knew the legacies he left. And they also weren’t shopping for into that. After failing to realize this, Dauda Lawal Dare thought out different plans.

Our sources consider that the Zamfara Governor linked with the previous Jigawa Governor who’s presently the Minister of Defence and each of them agreed that it was of their pursuits to chop Matawalle to dimension due to his looming affect and good relationship with President Bola Tinubu.
They discovered a prepared instrument in Jackson Ude, a former presidential aide to Jonathan. Jackson Ude is a Nigerian journalist who has made a reputation for himself as a blackmailer. Not lower than twenty completely different prime Nigerians, together with the DG of World Commerce Group, Ngozi Okonjo Iweala have both taken him to court docket and gained or sued him.
Jackson Ude has since grow to be a significant ally of Zamfara Governor, Dauda Lawal. Collectively, they allegedly determined that one of the simplest ways to deal with Matawalle rising affect within the Tinubu authorities was to proceed to label him as backing the bandits and terrorists terrorizing the State he as soon as ruled.
Bello Matawalle’s rise in standing and having grow to be the poster boy of the Tinubu administration’s success within the Defence sector didn’t make his co-minister, Mohammed Badaru Abubakar comfy. What you don’t have, you can not give.

Many sources within the media confirmed that the 2 Ministers gave the impression to be opposites therefore it was solely a matter of time that their variations grew to become apparent. In response to our sources, whereas Matawalle would come to state what the Ministry was doing and encourage the troops and it’s management to do extra, Badaru has by no means been a person who needed visibility. He has at all times been too taciturn and withdrawn, as if sulking. So when the story got here out that he was not too pleased with the Minister of State for taking the shine off him, and aligning with Dauda Lawal to undermine Matawalle, not many individuals doubted it.
Sources claimed Badaru has grouses, with Tinubu appointing him as Defence Minister and never placing the Chiefs of Employees underneath him. It was additionally alleged that he was indignant with the president as a result of he needed the FCT Ministry portfolio, which was given to Nyesom WIKE, a non- partyman. Abubakar Badaru, in line with our sources felt he ought to have been given the portfolio of the FCT Ministry as a result of he dropped his presidential ambition to help Tinubu when the President indicated curiosity in contesting.

Our supply additional revealed that Badaru, and Governor Lawal have teamed as much as work and make sure that Matawalle is annoyed out of the Tinubu authorities in order to additional dent no matter achievements the Tinubu authorities can declare to have whereas additionally denting Matawalle’s achievements.
Governor Lawal’s romance with terrorists is well-known within the State regardless of all of the air of vanity he surrounds himself with as a number of photos of his conferences and dialogue abound in every single place on the social media.Impeccable sources gathered that Bello Turji works for the Zamfara Governor and the buddies and allies of the bandits chief know this.
Sources confided in us that that is why it has been inconceivable for Bello Turji to be captured or killed because the State authorities nearly protects him, leaks details about troops motion if they’ve them and in addition help them with logistics. This explains why he makes a lot noise and boasts of his invincibility.

Bello Turji’s MEN and different bandit leaders are additionally mentioned to get pleasure from the identical standing as he enjoys..
Our sources additionally confirmed that Turji and some different prime bandits work for Dauda Lawal by making certain his agency grip on the mining enterprise in Zamfara.
By way of them, the governor is alleged to have managed a big chunk of the mining fields and in addition collected royalties on the governor’s behalf.
It’s even alleged in some circles that among the late bandits leaders eradicated by the army in its latest onslaught had been bagkeepers for the governor who stored his cash particularly from the mines therefore the rationale why he was not too pleased with their demise and their elimination was not celebrated by the state.
Our sources additionally linked a robust former NSA from the state with the gold mining enterprise within the state. In response to the sources, due to their vested curiosity, the highly effective NSA who retired from the army as a basic would do something to make sure that his mining pursuits are protected in Zamfara therefore the transfer to help the Governor and make sure that the highest bandits who shield their vested pursuits usually are not touched. These gang-up consider that any try by Matawalle to upset the applecart within the mining sectors of the state will have an effect on their vested pursuits since it’s the bandits who’re defending their pursuits there and so they want the continued presence of the bandits to chase away authorities prying eyes.

The implications of all these are germane right here.
Key stakeholders in Zamfara state who ordinarily ought to be working for the success of the army are working at cross-purposes with the safety equipment of the state. They don’t seem to be prepared to permit the
safety businesses function. Moderately, they work in opposition to them. They not solely do that, they provide out info in opposition to the safety businesses to bandits and terrorists who by this organise ambushes for the safety businesses all ina bid to color the Minister of State Defence in unhealthy gentle in addition to preserve their strangle maintain on the mining sector within the state.

Horrifying Dimensions
The recruitment of Bashir Hadejia in addition to the Minister of Defence, Abubakar Badaru, into this dastardly group constitutes a daunting dimensions to an issue that was hitherto localized. Our sources revealed that Bashir Hadejia was born in Niger Republic and maintains a house there identical to the Defence Minister Abubakar Badaru. Having labored with Bello Matawalle, he understands the workings of the previous Governor’s community in addition to what he did to curb the excesses of the bandits whereas in energy.
That Bashir Hadejia, working with Governor Dauda Lawal had been capable of cladenstinely sponsor anti- Nigerian protests in the course of the August 1-10 protests in Nigeria signify the extent of their hatred for the nation and its constitued authority. Although they got down to embarrass the Minister of State for Defence, and by implications the Tinubu authorities, the transfer confirmed the extent the Dauda Lawal gang-up might go in portraying Matawalle in unhealthy gentle and their trigger. Having recruited a infamous journalist who doesn’t function within the nation, but spews outright lies and in addition thrive on blackmail, no marvel they’ve dominated the cyber house with unverifiable tales upon tales in opposition to the Minister of State, Bello Matawalle.
