Former Governor Bello Matawalle has looted 17 official vehicles and other essential properties from the Zamfara Government House Gusau.
Governor Dauda Lawal revealed this during a phone-in program on Vision FM in Gusau, the state capital.
He said, “Former governor Bello Matawalle had gone away with 17 vehicles from his office and those in the deputy governor’s office claiming that the vehicles are his personal belongings. In fact, not even office equipment were spared.
“The atrocities are beyond comprehension, I’ve never seen crass irresponsibility like this one. But, with good planning I’m assuring the citizens of the state that we will do our best to correct the anomalies,” he said.
He said the former governor didn’t even spare television sets and cookers from the state government house.
The governor said his predecessor also left behind an empty treasury and huge debt.
Mr Lawal of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) defeated Matawalle of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
