The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP has called on banks and other financial institutions in Zamfara State, North-West Nigeria to be wary of what it describes as unapproved financial transactions by the Governor of the State, Bello Matawalle.

In a statement by the PDP National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbodiyan, the party insists its position is predicated on the alleged attempt to undermine the statutory powers of the Deputy Governor of Zamfara State, Aliyu Gusau following the decision of the Governor to defect to the All Progressives Congress, APC.
