‘Final warning’: Defence minister tackles Amaechi for asking Nigerians to protest hardship
The Minister of State for Defence, Dr. Bello Muhammed Matawalle, has condemned recent statements made by Rotimi Amaechi, accusing him of inciting violence and unrest among the Nigerian populace.
Amaechi recently said Nigerians should be protesting against the hardship in the country.
Matawalle in a statement released by the Director of Information in the Ministry of Defence, Henshaw Ogubike, which was obtained by DAILY POST on Saturday, issued a stern warning to the former Minister of Transport, urging him to desist from making inflammatory remarks that threaten the peace and stability of the nation.
Matawalle expressed deep concern over the dangers posed by such rhetoric.
“It is both reckless and irresponsible for a former public servant of Amaechi’s standing to incite Nigerians against their own government,” he said.
“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 added.
The minister reiterated President Bola Tinubu’s commitment to safeguarding the peace and security of every Nigerian, warning that any attempts to destabilize the country through incitement will not be tolerated.
“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 stated emphatically.
“It is expected that Amaechi joins hand with the Government to move the country forward, rather he chose to stay aside with myopic assertions,” the minister added.
