A group of All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftains in Zamfara State on Saturday urged Gov. Bello Matawalle to probe his predecessor, Abdulaziz Yari.
The group at a meeting in Gusau said it was in support of the dialogue with bandits initiated by the government.
Representative of Sen. Kabiru Marafa at the event and also the factional state APC Chairman, Alhaji Sirajo Maikatako, said that the state needed a new lease of life.
He called on the government to probe the immediate administration on its handling of the security challenges and finances of the state.
“We are calling on the state governor, to as matter of urgency, probe Abdulaziz Yari, the immediate past governor of the state”, NAN quoted him as saying.
“It is the duty of the state governor to investigate the past administration with a view to recover all the funds looted from the state treasury.”
Rabiu Suleman, who represented former Deputy Governor Mallam Ibrahim Wakkala, said: “supporting of this government is very necessary considering its commitments toward bringing lasting peace to the state.”
According to him, the immediate past administration showed little concern to the killing of innocent lives.
