Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, has lambasted former Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi for inciting Nigerians against the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Matawalle condemned the recent utterances of Amaechi while jointly inspecting ongoing developments at the NAF 119 Composite Group (CG) provisional layout, with the governor of Sokoto State, Ahmed Aliyu, in Sokoto.

The former  Governor of Zamfara State warned Amaechi to desist from making inflammatory remarks that can threaten the peace and stability of the country.

He accused Amaechi of inciting violence and unrest among the populace. 

The minister said, “It is both reckless and irresponsible for a former public servant of Amaechi’s standing to incite Nigerians against their own government. At a time when President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is working tirelessly to address the challenges facing the nation through various reforms that are yielding results.

“It is absurd, preposterous and shameful for anyone to exploit the genuine situation of our citizens for selfish political gain.”

Matawalle reiterated Tinubu’s commitment to ensuring the peace and security of every Nigerian.

He added, “We will not allow anyone to fuel violence or manipulate the prevailing situation of our people. Let this serve as a final warning to Amaechi and his cohorts.”

Matawalle further cautioned Amaechi not to cast aspersions on government’s genuine intentions for the people, saying, “It is expected that Amaechi joins hand with the government to move the country forward, rather he chose to stay aside with myopic assertions.”

Amaechi, a former Minister of Transportation under the Buhari Government had in a recent interview expressed disappointment that Nigerians haven’t occupied the streets to protest against the current hardship expressed under the Tinubu administration. This statement had angered the APC and some Ministers and close associates of Mr Tinubu.

Didactic Information Hut recalls that Amaechi had lost the APC Presidential Ticket to Bola Tinubu during the APC Primaries.
