President Tinubu’s Minister issues final warning to Amaechi over irresponsible statements
The Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, has slammed the comments made by former Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi.
Matawalle alleged Amaechi of inciting violence and public unrest among the Nigerians.
Amaechi who was a former Minister of Transport, recently called on Nigerians to protest against the economic situation bedeviling the country.
Reacting to Amaechi’s comments, Matawalle in a statement released by the Director of Information in the Ministry of Defence, Henshaw Ogubike, warned him to desist from making remarks that threaten the peace and stability of the country.
Matawalle expressed worry about threats posed by such inflammatory statements.
He 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.
“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.
“It is expected that Amaechi joins hand with the Government to move the country forward, rather he chose to stay aside with myopic assertions.”
