The All Progressives Congress(APC) has tasked the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Usman Alkali Baba, to investigate the vandalisation and invasion of former Gov. Bello Matawalle of Zamfara’s residence by individuals masquerading as security operatives. Alhaji Musa Mada, the Northwest APC Publicity Secretary, said this at a news conference in Kaduna on Saturday. Mada said that the vandalisation and invasion of Bello Matawalle ‘s homes was in violation of sections 34, 35, 37, 41 and 42 of the Constitution of the federal republic of Nigeria 1999 as amended. 
Former Gov. Bello Matawalle of Zamfara “Our enquiry at both the Gusau and Maradu residences of Bello Matawalle confirmed that there was no warrant or anything for that matter presented to the people when the act was carried out by the invaders. “Furthermore, residences of other government officials that worked with Matawalle during his four-year administration were also invaded and some of their personal vehicles were carted away by the same group. “If investigation is not taken, hoodlums may wear uniforms and attack perceived enemies in the name of such operations. “As a party, we will not tolerate that and we will watch closely how the authorities concerned will handle the situation so that we will know whether the police and the DSS are working for the PDP or Nigeria,” he said. Muda urged party supporters and Matawalle’s loyalists to remain calm and not take laws into their hands, pending investigation by police authorities.
GRV criticized politicians who seek to divide the inhabitants of Lagos State by claiming that it solely belongs to the Yoruba people during an interview on Channels Television on Thursday, March 09, 2023. The LP candidate stated that such politicians have ulterior motives, and his statement is in contrast to the stance of some APC stakeholders, including former Aviation Minister Femi Fani-Kayode, who insist that Lagos solely belongs to the Yoruba people. Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour argued that it contradicts the notion that Lagos is a no man’s land while referencing the silence of some Yoruba leaders during the herdsmen invasion in some parts of Nigeria. In his words; “Lagos State has been in harmony for a long time. What happens is politicians try to divide us. Let us be wary of politicians who remember that they are Yoruba when it is time for politics. “When Fulani herdsmen were making incursions into Oyo and people like Sunday Igboho, and Rotimi Akeredolu stood up, a lot of politicians in Lagos were quiet. They played politics with it. GRV added, “When it was time for Amotekun, they were quiet. They were quiet on so many interests of the Yoruba people because they wanted an alliance with the north. “So, they put their political interest above the interest of their people. And all of a sudden, it is election time and they are reminding you that this person does not speak Yoruba.”
