I came across a highly disgracing Facebook post of the so called Zamfara State PDP chairman Jamilu Jibo Magayaki late night yesterday trying to embarrass the person of the state Minister of State for Defence on the state of emergency declared by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Rivers State in order to restore peace and stability in the the state.
It is really high time that a political party that prides itself with being in power in a state like Zamfara should weed out nincompoops parading themselves as the ones to be listened to or to defend the party or to be fearless when trying to pass out a message.
Such is the ignorance and apparent fear displayed by Jamilu Jibo Magayaki who says he's PDP Chairman in Zamfara yet while trying to criticize the Tuesday 18 March, 2025 declaration by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu imposing a state of emergency on the political crisis ridden Rivers State was beclouded by incompetence and fear and so vexed it on the former governor of the state and now Minister of State for Defence, Dr. Bello Mohammed Matawalle.
I couldn't come to terms with the claim that Jibo has seen the four walls of the basics in education when he tried with tears to make the Rivers State of emergency look as if it was slammed by Matawalle who happened to be a Minister of State and while following a presidential directive his ministry said it will not delay the deployment of military personnel to ensure and enforce law and order in the affected state for the greater good of the people.
To clarify for Jibo and educate him free of charge therefore, I went straight to my system to write back and inform him that the statement that came from the Ministry of Defence wasn't even signed by Matawalle.
Coming back home over upholding democratic principles where he cited some demolition done in Zamfara while Matawalle was governor, he should know that those were necessary to give way to development just as Governor Dauda is now doing.
It was the PDP thugs who stole, carted away the materials and equipment at Farida Hospital and Gusau Hotel while on a looting spree just as INEC announced the 2023 governorship election victory in favour of the PDP. The Matawalle administration awarded a contract for the reconstruction of the two edifices for the benefit of the state, contractors were mobilezed and work had commenced when winner of the election was announced all the two sites were looted to zero by members of the PDP and is there on record including the houses of our party chieftains, campaign offices were all affected but I will not be surprised by the Jibo Magayaki Facebook statements because by then, he is living in Kaura and didn't have the opportunity to get close to the seat of power.
Let me remind Jibo that the Zamfara State House of Assembly grossly violated the constitution where ten elected honorable members were suspended (still on suspension) illegally just for voicing their opinion over the security situation of their different constituencies for over one year now under the same PDP leadership which I believe is the hand work of PDP led government.
Jibo should must know that throughout the country, there's nowhere such recalcitrance is taking or has taken place but in Zamfara State House of Assembly and is the first of the such violation we have since the return of democracy in 1999 to date which is a calculated attempt to silence the legislative arm in Zamfara State and I strongly believe the government will suffer its consequences sooner or later
Talking about not having executive council meeting, the PDP led government is surely guilty of that in Zamfara because Jibo's governor Dauda even issued out multi billion naira contracts in his early days without either an executive council in place nor an endorsement by the bootlicking state House of Assembly until when we raised the matter to public notice, the records are still there, while Matawalle who does his things by the book, never did anything without his executive, the records are also there.
So a dunce like Jibo must study things before commenting because what he did on his Facebook account is nothing short of the display that he is really analphabetic.
His fear of the federal might was also expressed by not going directly against Mr. President, whose prerogative it was to take such action against Rivers State for peace to reign but to a halfwit political dupe like Jibo, positive criticism doesn't count here, but uninformed attacks along with conscripting anyone not in their good books such the Minister Matawalle.
Let him meet his predecessor for formal taking over of the PDP secretariat so that he will be polished with accurate data on how to run party administration because I was told he is yet to takeover properly that is why he is messing about the happenings in Zamfara
