The Arewa Youth Consultative Forum (AYCF) has cautioned the president, Cross River Young Women in Politics (CRYWIP), Hon. Eniobong Rita Umana, on calls for probe of the minister of state for defence, Bello Matawalle, by the EFCC.
A statement by the president general of the forum, Alhaji Yerima Shettima said the North would not tolerate such calls and well meaning Nigerians should disregard them l because it is “dead on arrival”.
Shettima added that their call was basically a distraction that no sane person should take serious, stressing, “We will therefore call on the women group real or imaginary to concentrate on how their sister can provide answers to allegations of corruption leveled against her.
“Let it also be clear that any attempt to want to tarnish the image and well-built reputation of the minister will meet stiff resistance.
“We humbly ask that their sister and minister of humanitarian affairs and poverty alleviation Dr Betta Edu should face her case and not drag Matawalle into her mess.”
