Unfounded’ – Tinubu furious over Gov Matawalle’s attack on Bawa

President-elect Bola Tinubu is reportedly not happy with Zamfara State Governor Bello Matawalle’s outburst against Economic and Financial Crimes Commission boss Abdulrasheed Bawa.


Matawalle continued a series of attacks on Bawa, culminating in the outburst on May 19 against the EFCC boss. Alleging that he was under investigation for refusing to accept a request for a $2 million bribe. The outgoing governor of Zamfara State broke the news in an interview with BBC saying Bawa is corrupt and cannot be trusted to fight corruption.

In the interview, Matawalle did not hide his anger at Bawa for the governor’s investigation and alleged tolerance of ministers and other members of the Federal Executive Council.

“It’s not just blaming the governor. Treasuries are not only for governors but also for the federal government. What did the EFCC boss do to them? Just as he claims he has evidence from the governor, let him show the world the evidence at the federal level,” he told the BBC.


But Tinubu, who returned to the country from France on Saturday, was caught in the firestorm created by Matawalle, where he reportedly lashed out at the outgoing governor, describing his outbursts against Bawa as “unwarranted and unhelpful”, calling the events an “embarrassment” of the outgoing governor on the ruling All Progressives Congress.

To put the matter in perspective, a reliable source close to the President-elect revealed that Matawale appeared disgruntled with re-election defeat and appeared disgruntled to have attacked Bawa whom he held responsible for his defeat.


Matawalle’s statement after the gubernatorial election seemed to confirm his alleged displeasure. After admitting defeat and receiving forgiveness from those he may have wronged, he later went on to blame the federal government for the naira redesign policy and the Nigerian military’s alleged invasion of the state on election day.


The outgoing governor looked like a politician unable to handle defeat, prompting the Center for African Liberation and Socio-Economic Rights (CALSER) to issue a statement in March calling him a “a loose canon” for a “strange statement about the governor”. elections. KALSER also accused the governor of trying to curry favor with the president-elect by saying things he says he likes.


Despite Tinubu’s concerns about the Naira redesign and how it could affect voter turnout in the February 25 presidential election, the president-elect will not hold anyone accountable or act until due process is taken, our sources say.
