Zamfara State Governor, Bello Matawalle has cautioned party stakeholders to refrain from comments that tended to paint the party in bad light.
His said comments by the Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu against the leadership of the Yobe State Governor, was capable of causing disharmony in the party and should be discouraged.
He spoke through Zailani Bappa, his Special Adviser on Public Enlightenment, Media and Communications.
He said, “It is not right for us to wash our dirty linens in the media, especially at this critical time of the party’s transformation as we move towards a decisive period in 2023.”
“I believe that each of us has been trying his best in his way to move the interest of our great party forward.
“His Excellency, Gov. Mai Mala Buni has no doubt contributed immensely to the promotion of the party’s fortunes and indeed all other governors who disagreed with one another.
“However, we all disagree to agree. That is the beauty of democracy. There is no point in promoting disharmony among ourselves after disagreements are settled,” he said.
Matawalle added: “It is not wise to drag the name of His Excellency, Mr President into taking sides on issues that are ordinarily a normal political misunderstanding common to every collection of interests. Now, more than ever before, the party needs the strength and unity to face the challenges ahead as we move towards the critical period of elections of which the party must maintain its supremacy at all levels. Together as one, we shall continue to conquer and prosper.”
