Governor Bello Matawalle of Zamfara State has offered to allow operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to search the property it claimed to have found stashed with money laundered through cash payment of salaries.
A statement by the state Commissioner for Information, Ibrahim Dosara, today said the offer became necessary in view of the grand connivance by enemies of the state to rupture the hard-earned reputation and progress of the governor.
The statement stressed that the state government under Matawalle had never paid its workers’ salary through table payment, adding that it could not afford to do so, “at this material time when the government agreed to implement the national minimum wage of N30,000.”
Dosara said the governor is committed to the well-being, welfare and security of lives and property of the people of the state, adding that he would not allow enemies of the state to distract him.
