APC Akida Chairman, Lamaran Risks Contempt Of Court As He Petitions Matawalle, Despite Court Order
Mr Tijjani Lamaran, the chairman of APC Akida has been accused of working behind the scenes on behalf of Zamfara State, Governor Dauda Lawal in filing a petition to the Department of State Services (DSS) against the Minister of State for Defense, Bello Mohammed Matawalle, accusing the minister of having link with bandits.
Tijjani Lamaran, who was a one-time Special Adviser to former Kaduna State Governor, late Dabo Lere, and former DG at the Nigerian Maritime Authorities is also being accused of sponsoring the protest at the Department of State Services (DSS), despite the presidency declaration of the Minister to be free from the series of accusations by Zamfara State Governor, Dauda Lawal.
The protest which had hired hoodlums and thugs in some buses to the DSS office in Abuja, is coming weeks after the Presidency has cleared Bello Matawalle from the allegations of linkage with bandits.
Tijjani Lamaran who is fronting for Zamfara Governor, Dauda Lawal in the petition and the protest in a memo allegedly linked with bandits sponsorship some months ago.
Recall that the presidency said after thorough and genuine investigations conducted by the National Security Adviser, it discovered that Bello Matawalle was declared free of the series of allegations leveled against him by Gov. Dauda Lawal.
It was discovered by the investigators that Dauda Lawal who lost focus in governance was too blindfolded to instigate the minister’s removal from President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s cabinet.
Tijjani Lamaran who is the father of Saadatu, the wife of Sarkin Hausawa of Lagos, Aminu Yero, a trustworthy of the embattled former CBN governor, Godwin Emefiele who as well forfeited the Sum of N120 billion to the Federal Government as part of the money Emefele was alleged to have given to her for safekeeping.
Tijjani Lamaran and his daughter, Saadatu have played different pivotal roles in sabotaging Bola Ahmed Tinubu to succeed former President Muhammadu Buhari, especially in Kaduna State where Tijjanini Lamaran was alleged to vigorously work for PDP success.
Further investigations reveal that APC Akida is a collection of selected groups of individuals who are being financially sponsored by the PDP to work against the APC’s success ahead of the 2027 general election.
