Governor Bello Matawalle of Zamfara has approved the appointment of 169 top government officials and aides, in a bid to promote unity within the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state.
A nine-page official document today, June 18 by the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Alhaji Kabiru Balarabe, in Gusau, said that Alhaji Isha Umar was appointed Chairman, Zamfara Independent Electoral Commission while Alhaji Usman Magami and Alhaji Bashir Abdullahi were appointed as Special Advisers.
Others are 103 Senior Special Assistants (SSAs), 28 Directors General, and 13 Special Assistants to the governor.
The list also included 10 new Permanent Commissioners and part-time members of various Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs), including the Hajj Commission and Law Reform Commission, among others.
The SSG said the appointments are with immediate effect.
This development comes barely two months after the three, hitherto, APC camps led by Matawalle, former governor, Abdulaziz Yari and former Sen. Kabiru Marafa, agreed to work together for the success of the party in the 2023 general elections.
Sequel to the reconciliation, Yari and Marafa clinched APC ticket for Zamfara West and Central Senatorial elections, respectively.
