Minister of State for Defence, Mr Mohammed Bello Matawalle, has said critics of President Bola Tunubu will surely be ashamed in the 2027 elections.
Describing Tinubu’s critics as perpetrators of falsehood, lies, mischief and propaganda, he said lies and propaganda will not in any way affect Tinubu.
According to him, President Tinubu is still among the best leaders with people’s interest at heart, selfless service and confronted nations’ challenges especially tackling insecurity and poor governance inherited from past administrations.
He said Tinubu ensured execution of laudable projects in all sectors with adequate support on Nigerian Army and other security agencies towards confronting security challenges bedeviling the nation, particularly the North that was enmeshed into such challenges.
Matawalle added that Tinubu prioritised economic, educational, human and capital development for national growth which would ease citizens sufferings and rejuvenate poverty reduction among Nigerians.
”It was a surprise that some group of Nigerians partners with some individuals on tarnishing the image of Mr President despite his efforts for the country’s peaceful coexistence, unity and progress,” said Matawalle who spoke through his Special Adviser on Politics, Hon. Ibrahim Maigandi, Danmalikin Gidan Goga at a retreat organised in Sokoto, on Tuesday.
”The scrupulous elements have engaged youths with no focus and visions for national development, spreading falsehood, promote negative propaganda against the office of Mr President and criticizing President’s good performance for their selfish interest,” he said.
He enjoined youths to embrace virtue, avoid spreading falsehood and unfounded information that would subject the country to disharmony.
The Minister advised politicians on becoming proactive to community development and nation economic progress as well as stability.
In his address, Malam Yusuf Abubakar, the Lead Convener, explained that the joint groups retreat was established to mobilize good support for reelection of the President Tinubu through showcasing quality of leadership and his leadership focus toward developing the nation.
He commended Matawalle for instituting the awareness fora and enjoined him not to relent on their efforts to support Tinubu toward securing second term in office.
According to him no fewer than 58 community groups leaders, association’s heads and ambassadors from Sokoto, Kebbi, Zamfara and Kaduna states participated in the retreat.
