Security issues: I will silence critics – Matawalle

The Minister of State for Defence, Mohammed Bello Matawalle, has expressed his strong determination to prove his capabilities in his new role and silence his critics.

The former Governor of Zamfara State emphasized his unwavering confidence in effectively managing his responsibilities.

“I have been hearing some people saying my brother Badaru (Minister of Defence) and I do not have the capacity to serve as ministers of defence; these people do not even understand what security is.

“Therefore, this is not where the problem is; what matters most is one’s determination, courage, and opportunity.”

“All measures I took to curb the security problems in Zamfara State, I have to do it first and other governors followed suit. This is because I have a strong understanding of security matters

“In the past, we were asking for help. But now, we are in a position to help others,” he said.
