On Tuesday, the Secretary to the State Government (SSG) Bala Bello and all 23 commissioners were fired.
A statement by the governor’s spokesman, Zailani Bappa also announced the sack of Chief of Staff, Bala Mande, his Deputy Bashir Maru, all heads, chairmen and members of commissions, boards and agencies.
Matawalle’s planned move is causing disquiet in the camp of former Governor, Abdulaziz Yari and former Zamfara Central Senator Kabir Marafa.
The battle between the duo ahead of the 2019 general elections caused the loss of the state to the PDP.
The parallel primaries they conducted was one of the reasons cited by the Supreme Court for giving victory to PDP candidates in the poll, including the governor.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has accused some persons of “satanic plans” against the ruling party ahead of 2023.
The APC raised the alarm after a report on alleged bickering involving Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, and National Caretaker Chairman and Yobe Governor, Mai Buni.
The chieftains were accused of disagreement over who will occupy the seat of the President after the next general elections.
In a statement on Friday, Buni’s spokesman, Mamman Mohammed insists there is no conflict, adding that claim was false.
Mohammed said “the satanic plans being orchestrated by mischievous elements” were meant to distract the APC leadership and discredit the President Muhammadu Buhari led government.

The statement partly read, “We are disappointed because it is the second time in less than 10 months that we are compelled to issue a rebuttal of a baseless story published by this same paper.
