Minister of State for Defence, Mohammed Bello Matawalle has said he is determined to silence his critics and demonstrate capacity in his new role.

The Zamfara State former Governor said that he was very resolute in his confidence to handle the responsibilities effectively.

During a reception organized in his honor in Abuja, Matawalle told his critics that, 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.
