The Coalition of Good Governance in North West Development has dismissed recent political criticism of the Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, labeling it as an unnecessary distraction in the ongoing fight against banditry and terrorism.

The group asserted that the minister is fulfilling his mandate to enhance security in the region.

The Governor of Zamfara State, Dauda Lawal, and some groups had accused Matawalle of maintaining ties with the bandits terrorising the North West state.

However,in a statement released by its Executive Secretary, Abdullah Gusau, the coalition stressed that Matawalle, along with other security leaders, has been instrumental in improving safety across the North West.

Gusau also questioned the timing and relevance of the accusations, asking where these critics were during the height of violence under former President Buhari’s administration.

The group highlighted that while terrorism and banditry had not been fully eradicated, significant progress had been made.

“We are seeing fewer attacks and more stability in areas that were previously under siege,” Gusau remarked, emphasizing that the efforts of the current defence leadership should be acknowledged.

He called for continued support for the Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, and Minister Matawalle, urging them to stay focused on their mission.

“Now that the war against terrorism is turning the tide against bandit leaders, our security forces need encouragement, not distractions,” Gusau added.

The coalition warned that undue criticism at this critical time could undermine ongoing security operations, which have seen bandit leaders and their networks significantly weakened.

They stressed the importance of maintaining a united front in the fight against terror.

Gusau also underscored the complex nature of security challenges in the North, noting that while progress is being made, the fight is far from over.

“It is a gradual process, but the government is on the right track,” he said.

The group’s defense of Matawalle comes amid increasing scrutiny of Nigeria’s security apparatus, with critics arguing that more needs to be done. However, the coalition insists that the current leadership has made tangible improvements in securing the region.
