Senator Ahmed Sani Yerima, has told Zamfara State Governor Bello Matawalle that he is not a people elected governor.
The former governor of the state told Matawalle that his government is courtesy of the supreme court, adding that he is exercising a mandate not freely given to him by the people.
Distancing himself from any agreement with Matawalle about switching party to win the election, Yerima said nothing of such ever took place, adding that neither him or the national leadership of the APC had any such agreement with the governor.
He said: “First, there was no agreement between us. What I said earlier was that he was my commissioner for eight years. There was never a time when either me or the national leadership of the party had any understanding with him to go and win and then come to APC. “As a politician, I said the current governor knows the structure that brought him to limelight, becoming a commissioner and a member of the House of Representatives, paving the way for people to know him properly and he also know that it is the Supreme Court and not the electorate that gave him that position by the grace of God. So, he will not joke.
If he wants a second term in office, he knows exactly what to do. As a politician, if he wants to find it easy, he knows what to do. That is all I am saying,” Yerima said.
