A couple of hours after the Zamfara House of Assembly impeached Barrister Mahdi Aliyu Gusau as the Deputy Governor of the State, Governor Bello Matawalle has appointed Senator Hassan Mohammed Gusau as his replacement. He is the new Deputy Governor.
Senator Gusau is representing Zamfara Central at the Senate. He joined Matawalle to defect to the All Progressives Congress, APC, from the PDP, a refusal on principles, which cost Aliyu Gusau his job.
