The Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, has challenged all appointees from the North in the current administration to come out openly and defend President Bola Tinubu or quit.
Matawalle specifically called on Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, Special Adviser to the President on political matters in the office of the Vice President and other leaders to take a position in support of the government. He said this following what he perceived as comments against the federal government by the former spokesperson of the Northern Elders Forum, NEF, Baba-Ahmed.
“Consequent to my position on the recent attack on the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu by a spokesman of the Northern Elders Forum, it has come to my attention that Dr Hakeem Baba-Ahmed who once served as the Spokesperson of the group and currently a Special Adviser on Political Matters in the Presidency took to his page on it to express a different position.
