Matawalle Condemns Amaechi for Inciting Violence: “Stop Weaponizing Our People’s Pain”<\/p>\n
The Minister of State for Defence, Dr. Bello Muhammed Matawalle, MON, has issued a strong rebuke to former Minister of Transport, Rt. Hon. Rotimi Amaechi, accusing him of inciting violence and unrest in the country. In a statement released on Friday, Dr. Matawalle warned Amaechi against making inflammatory remarks that could destabilize the nation’s peace and security.<\/p>\n
Dr. Matawalle expressed concern over Amaechi’s recent comments, calling them reckless and irresponsible. He emphasized that at a time when President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is working to address national challenges through various reforms, it is dangerous for anyone to exploit the current situation for political gain.<\/p>\n
“It is absurd, preposterous, and shameful for anyone, especially a former public servant of Amaechi\u2019s standing, to incite Nigerians against their own government,” Dr. Matawalle said. “President Tinubu is making progress, and such rhetoric only serves to disrupt the peace we are trying to maintain.”<\/p>\n
The Defence Minister reaffirmed the government’s commitment to protecting the security of all Nigerians and warned that any attempts to incite violence would be met with swift action. “We will not allow anyone to fuel violence or manipulate the struggles of our citizens for selfish reasons,” Matawalle stated, adding that this serves as a final warning to Amaechi and his supporters.<\/p>\n
Matawalle urged Amaechi to work with the government in its efforts to move the country forward, rather than making what he described as “myopic assertions.” He concluded by reiterating the government’s resolve to maintain national stability and ensure the safety of its citizens.<\/p>\n
