Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle has fired a strong warning to former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi over his remarks about President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s leadership.
Matawalle said: “It is both reckless and dangerous for a former public office holder to make such inflammatory remarks. At a time when the government is working tirelessly to consolidate national unity and security, no responsible leader should fan the flames of violence and political unrest.”
“Nigeria is a sovereign nation governed by laws, not a jungle where power is seized through brute force.”
“Let me make it clear: security agencies are on high alert. Any individual or group found inciting violence or attempting to destabilize this nation will face the full force of the law.”
“President Tinubu’s commitment to the unity and progress of our great nation is unwavering. Having experienced both military rule and democratic governance, he would never undermine the very democracy he has fought to uphold.”
“Amaechi and his associates are politically irrelevant and out of touch with the realities of national development.”
“Amaechi and others who believe they can manipulate our youth into chaos should rethink their actions. This government will not stand idly by while individuals attempt to disrupt the peace and stability of Nigeria.”
For those who don’t know, Amaechi had at a conference in Abuja recently stated that Nigerian politicians must “steal, maim, and kill” to remain in power.
