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.
