A member of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has retracted his role in a recent protest targeting Bello Matawalle, the country’s Minister of State for Defence.

Kamilu Ibrahim, who identified himself as an active PDP member and one of the protest’s organisers, issued a statement on Saturday retracting his involvement and apologising to Matawalle.

“It’s important to note that I am not an indigene of Zamfara State, and none of the participants come from Zamfara State.”

He alleged that the protest was not driven by genuine grievances but was instead sponsored to discredit Matawalle.

“The reason we are begging Matawalle to forgive us is that we found out we were fooled and misled by false information to deceive the public.

“We are sorry for any damage we have caused you, Ibrahim told Matawalle.

“I believed at the time that our actions were justified,” Ibrahim said.

“However, after reviewing the facts and listening to credible reports, I now realise that the allegations against Matawalle are unfounded and politically motivated.

“I sincerely apologise to Honourable Bello Matawalle for the role I played,” he said, vowing not to participate in “such deceitful agendas” in the future.
