The Action Peoples Party (APP) has withdrawn its petition against the declaration of Bello Mohammed Mattawale as the Governor of Zamfara State filed at the Zamfara State Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Abuja.
The party’s National Executive Committee resolved to accept the verdict of the INEC in declaring Governor Mattawale as winner of the election following Supreme Court decision on the APC primaries and the Governorship election.
The APP, however, described the emergence of Governor Mattawale as divine and urged the people of Zamfara to support him to deliver the dividends of democracy.
The party’s National Chairman, Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere, also urged the All Progressives Congress (APC) to quit all its distractive antics against the governor and support him to rebuild the state, which the party brought down to its knees and bequeathed with rivers of blood and under development.
“The APC should not continue in their ill-advised shenanigans of applying to the Supreme Court to review the judgment sacking the APC from office.
No party should stand in the way of what God wants to do in Zamfara and the APC will have all its fingers burnt if it continues along this path.
“The governor has shown capacity to rebuild the state and secure the lives and properties of people of Zamfara and needs our support to succeed for the good of all,” he said.
