The Minister of State for Defence, Dr. Bello Muhammed Matawalle, has condemned recent statements made by Rotimi Amaechi, accusing him of inciting violence and unrest among the Nigerian populace. Amaechi recently said Nigerians should be protesting against the hardship in the country.
Matawalle in a statement released by the Director of Information in the Ministry of Defence, Henshaw Ogubike, which was obtained by DAILY POST on Saturday, issued a stern warning to the former Minister of Transport, urging him to desist from making inflammatory remarks that threaten the peace and stability of the nation. Matawalle expressed deep concern over the dangers posed by such rhetoric.
'It is absurd, preposterous and shameful for anyone to exploit the genuine situation of our citizens for selfish political gain,' Matawalle added. The minister reiterated President Bola Tinubu's commitment to safeguarding the peace and security of every Nigerian, warning that any attempts to destabilize the country through incitement will not be tolerated. “We will not allow anyone to fuel violence or manipulate the prevailing situation of our people.
