His presence there factored Zamfara & its banditry challenges-Sani reacts as Matawalle's appointment

According to a news that was published two days ago, it was reported that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Wednesday, announced the appointment of Bello Matawalle, who was the former Zamfara state governor, as the Minister of State for Defence.

It was reported that Bello Matawalle’s previous role as the governor of Zamfara State, was marked by heavy criticism due to insecurity issues that plagued Zamfara state under his administration.

However, while Senator Shehu Sani, who happens to be the former senator representing the Kaduna Central Senatorial District, was reacting to this development on his official Twitter handle yesterday, he said that Bello Matawalle’s presence as the governor of Zamfara State, was what factored the insecurity in the state. He said Matawalle has no experience and that, retired security operative was supposed to be given Matawalle’s appointment.

He said, “Matawalle is the Minister of State for Defence and not the ‘Senior’ Minister. His presence there factored Zamfara State and its banditry challenges. This is a challenge and an opportunity for him to takeout Turji, Aleru and other terrorist kingpins in his state. The ‘Senior’ Minister for Defence has no experience in Defence matters. A retired Army, Airforce or Naval officer is the best for Defence.”
