Youths from the south west geopolitical zone have endorsed the Minister of State, Defence, Bello Matawalle as the best minister in the present administration for his relent pursuit to find lasting solution to the lingering insecurity challenges confronting the country.
According to them, Matawalle, who was recently in Saudi Arabia attending a conference of Ministers of Defence from Africa, Europe and Asia as part of his ongoing efforts to seek global partnerships in the fight against terrorism and banditry and other security breaches in the country, deserves the special commendation of President Bola Tinubu as the best performing minister in his administration.
In a statement by the National President of south west Youth Council, Comrade Eric Oluwole, the youths noted that Matawalle attended the Saudi intercontinental security conference barely a week after actively participating in a two-day roundtable on security in Northern Nigeria and the rest of the Country between January 24 and 25, which was chaired by a former Head of State, Gen Abdulsalami Abubakar, in demonstration of his “commendable zeal to find an urgent solution to the worrisome problem of insecurity facing our dear Country, Nigeria.”
At the critical meeting which held recently in Riyadh the Saudi capital, Matawalle, joined Defence Ministers from Africa, Asia, and Europe to discuss various tested and effective strategies on securing their respective areas and other parts of the world.
Oluwole said: “We believe that it will be in the best interest of our country Nigeria if these strategies, which are effectively working in securing other parts of the world, are brought home by Matawalle for domestication by our country’s security architecture to solve the insecurity confronting us.
“We particularly note Matawalle’s performance since he became Minister of State, Defence, a brilliant carryover from his tenure as a former Governor of Zamfara State, where he recorded numerous milestones that are exemplary and indelible in the annals of the history of Zamfara State.
“Yoruba youths commend the Minister of State, Defence, Bello Matawalle especially for the energetic way in which he is tackling this critical problem of insecurity in our Country.
“We want to salute his courage for the unique way he is attending to his duties in the ministry, which is unusual, and which promises to bequeathe to the nation, a Defence Ministry that we will all be proud of.
“We really believe in Matawalle based on his performance when he was Zamfara State Governor and we know his good performance in that State.
“We want to encourage him to give more in his commendable performance in the Tinubu administration, which we believe will give Nigeria an exemplary leadership.
“On this basis, we call on Mr President to specially endorse the Minister of State, Defence, Bello Matawalle as the Best Minister so far in his administration”, he stated.
