Attacks On Matawalle Unnecessary
Share on WhatsAppShare on FacebookShare on XTelegram

The Coalition of Good Governance in North West Development has dismissed recent political criticism of the Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, labelling it as an unnecessary distraction in the ongoing fight against banditry and terrorism.

The group asserted that the minister is fulfilling his mandate to enhance regional security.

The Governor of Zamfara State, Dauda Lawal, and some groups had accused Matawalle of maintaining ties with the bandits terrorising the North West state.

However, in a statement released by its Executive Secretary, Abdullah Gusau, the coalition stressed that Matawalle and other security leaders have been instrumental in improving safety across the North West.

Gusau also questioned the timing and relevance of the accusations, asking where these critics were during the height of violence under former President Buhari’s administration.

The group highlighted that while terrorism and banditry had not been entirely eradicated, significant progress had been made.

“We are seeing fewer attacks and more stability in areas that were previously under siege,” Gusau remarked, emphasising that the efforts of the current defence leadership should be acknowledged.

He called for continued support for the Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, and Minister Matawalle, urging them to stay focused on their mission.

“Now that the war against terrorism is turning the tide against bandit leaders, our security forces need encouragement, not distractions,” Gusau added.

The coalition warned that undue criticism at this critical time could undermine ongoing security operations, which have significantly weakened bandit leaders and their networks.

They stressed the importance of maintaining a united front in the fight against terror.

Gusau also underscored the complex nature of security challenges in the North, noting that while progress is being made, the fight is far from over.

“It is a gradual process, but the government is on the right track,” he said.

The group’s defence of Matawalle comes amid increasing scrutiny of Nigeria’s security apparatus. Critics argue that more needs to be done. However, the coalition insists that the current leadership has made tangible improvements in securing the region.
