“From now on, Governor Matawalle is the leader our great party in Zamfara State. You will await further arrangements for new party structure from him,” Mr Buni said.
Receiving the party’s flag, Governor Matawalle accepted the leadership of the party just as he declared his membership of the party. He called on all party members to rally round him to build a “new APC of the people’s desire in the state”.
