Baseless Accusations Against Matawalle a Distraction From Real Security Threats — NDYC

The Niger Delta Youth Congress (NDYC) has issued a formal statement criticizing Zamfara State Governor Dauda Lawal for his recent accusations against the Minister of State for Defense, Bello Matawalle.

In the statement, the NDYC described Governor Lawal’s allegations, which implicate Matawalle in activities related to banditry, as “unfounded” and “detrimental to the state’s security progress.” The organization commended the Defense Ministry for its ongoing efforts to combat banditry, noting recent successes, including the elimination of several high-profile bandit leaders.

The NDYC expressed concerns regarding the timing of the governor’s accusations, suggesting that they coincide with significant advancements in the fight against banditry. The group alleged that Governor Lawal’s actions appear politically motivated and could hinder the state’s security efforts.

In addition, the NDYC called on the federal government to consider imposing a state of emergency in Zamfara State. According to the organization, such a measure would allow security forces to operate without political interference, which they claim is currently obstructing progress.

The youth group urged Governor Lawal to withdraw his statements and to publicly support the ongoing security initiatives. They warned that further attempts to undermine these efforts would be met with strong opposition from concerned citizens.
