‘Misinformed’ — Ex-Lawmakers Defend Matawalle, Reject US Lawmaker’s Removal Call.

Published

on

The Former Parliamentarians Forum has dismissed calls for the removal of the Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, describing such demands as misguided and lacking a proper understanding of Nigeria’s security situation.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

The group cautioned against external interference in the country’s internal security affairs, warning that it could disrupt ongoing efforts to stabilise troubled regions.

In a statement signed by its chairman, Hon. Gabriel Idoko, the Forum responded to recent remarks by Kimberly Daniels, who called for Matawalle’s removal following a security assessment on Nigeria.

It said the conclusion was based on a “selective interpretation” of the country’s complex security challenges.

The Forum argued that Nigeria’s insecurity cannot be resolved by targeting individuals, stressing that it requires coordinated institutional action across security agencies.

It added that Matawalle works within a broader defence structure under President Bola Tinubu’s administration, contributing to joint military operations and intelligence coordination.

According to the group, undermining that collaboration based on unverified claims would be harmful to national security.

The Forum also warned against what it described as growing external influence in Nigeria’s security discourse without proper engagement with local realities.

It urged that allegations of wrongdoing be handled through credible investigations rather than public speculation.

While acknowledging ongoing security challenges in parts of the country, the group said accountability must follow due process and evidence-based procedures.

It further defended Matawalle’s experience as a former governor of Zamfara State, saying it gives him valuable insight into handling rural insecurity and community conflicts.

The Forum called for support for security agencies and urged stakeholders to avoid statements that could weaken public confidence or troop morale, insisting that constructive engagement is key to addressing the nation’s security concerns.
