The APC Youth Leaders Network has commended the Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, for his “remarkable” contributions to national security, particularly in the Northwest region.

The group, which made this known at a press conference in Abuja, dissociated themselves from a recent protest staged by some individuals claiming to be APC youths, demanding the EFCC’s investigation of Matawalle.

“Apparently, the recent events on a sponsored protest to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) by a compromised faction that claimed to be APC youths, demanding an investigation of Matawalle should be seen as nothing short of an embarrassing attempt to spread falsehood for vendetta politics,” the statement said.

“Indeed, this trying times call for an urgent need for Nigerians to circumspectly evaluate any spurious allegations flying around.

“Nevertheless, our commitment to truth, justice, and the preservation of democratic integrity that the APC stands for, remains undeterred. Let it be made clear: Minister Bello Matawalle is a respected patriot whose legacy and contributions to national security, particularly in the Northwest, continue to uphold the visionary Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The group said Matawalle stands out as a paragon of dedication and patriotism, consistently demonstrating unwavering commitment to national security and stability.

The added that his tireless efforts in coordinating local intelligence, devising effective defence strategies, and supporting counterinsurgency operations in the Northwest region have yielded verifiable and commendable results.

The group reaffirmed their support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Matawalle, describing the latter as “an epitome of service, loyalty, and patriotism.”

They expressed confidence that truth and justice would prevail, and Zamfara State would be delivered from Governor Lawal’s leadership, which they described as “a monumental failure”
