CSOs Accuses PDP of Orchestrating Protests Against Defence Minister Matawalle

The 774 Coalition of Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) has accused a faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of orchestrating recent protests and disturbances aimed at discrediting Bello Mohammed Matawalle, the Minister of State for Defence.

The group claims the protests are being driven by political forces acting in proxy for Zamfara State Governor, Dauda Lawal.

In a statement released on Wednesday, Muhammad Kabiru, the National Secretary of the CSOs, alleged that the protests against Matawalle were part of a deliberate campaign to undermine his growing influence and, by extension, damage the credibility of President Bola Tinubu’s administration. Kabiru asserted that the unrest was politically motivated, orchestrated by those who view Matawalle’s rise as a threat to their ambitions.

“Matawalle’s strong leadership and unwavering commitment to national security, especially in Northern Nigeria, have made him a target for those who see his influence as an obstacle,” Kabiru said.

“These protests are a desperate attempt to weaken his credibility and disrupt the stability that the Tinubu administration is striving to build.”

The CSOs emphasized that Matawalle’s retention in the federal cabinet was a significant endorsement of his performance and contributions to national security.

Kabiru praised President Tinubu for standing by the minister despite the ongoing political pressures from the faction within the PDP. He added that the group, under the influence of Governor Dauda Lawal, was using misinformation and incitement to sow division and create instability.

“We commend President Tinubu for his foresight and courage in maintaining Matawalle in his cabinet,” Kabiru said.

“While political machinations often overshadow governance, the President’s support for Matawalle sends a clear message that national security should not be compromised for political gain.”

The CSOs also urged Matawalle to remain focused on his work, pointing to his track record in combating banditry and ensuring the safety of Nigerian citizens. They called on the minister to continue his efforts to combat insecurity, particularly in Northern Nigeria, where criminal elements such as the Lakurawa group continue to pose significant challenges.

“The recent threats from criminal groups should be met with the same resolve Matawalle has shown in the past,” Kabiru added. “His leadership has been crucial in the fight against insecurity, and we are confident that he will continue to deliver for the people.”

The CSOs also appealed to Northern Nigerian youth to recognize the larger implications of the protests and disturbances, urging them to remain vigilant against divisive tactics that could undermine the region’s unity and the country’s stability.

“We stand in unwavering support of Bello Mohammed Matawalle and call on him to continue his vital work for the security of our communities,” Kabiru concluded.

“We are prepared to mobilize our members and allies in defense of our leaders who prioritize the welfare of the people. Together, we will confront these challenges and ensure that forces of destabilization do not succeed.”
