Matawalle to Northern appointees: Stand with Tinubu or exit

The Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle has challenged political appointees from the north to give total support to President Bola Tinubu.

Matawalle’s call came after the Special Adviser on Political Matters to the President, Dr. Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, expressed a different opinion about the minister’s defence of Tinubu’s administration.

On Saturday, the minister slammed the Northern Elders Forum (NEF) for saying it regretted supporting Tinubu in the 2023 general election.
