Former Transportation Minister Rotimi Amaechi has been warned by Dr. Bello Muhammed Matawalle, Minister of State for Defense, about the repercussions of instigating violence.
Matawalle issued a warning, saying that the government of President Bola Tinubu would not tolerate Amaechi and others inciting violence and instability among Nigerian young.
He cautioned against Amaechi’s statement that Nigerian politicians must “steal, maim, and kill to remain in power” during a conference in Abuja.
In response, the Minister claimed that Amaechi had tried to undermine national security and radicalize young people.
In a statement by Henshaw Ogubike, Director of Press and Public Relations at the Ministry of Defence, the Minister said: “It is both reckless and dangerous for a former public office holder to make such inflammatory remarks.
“At a time when the government is working tirelessly to consolidate national unity and security, no responsible leader should fan the flames of violence and political unrest.
“Nigeria is a sovereign nation governed by laws, not a jungle where power is seized through brute force.
“Let me make it clear: security agencies are on high alert. Any individual or group found inciting violence or attempting to destabilize this nation will face the full force of the law.
“Amaechi and others who believe they can manipulate our youth into chaos should rethink their actions. This government will not stand idly by while individuals attempt to disrupt the peace and stability of Nigeria.”
He stated that Tinubu was committed to the unity of Nigeria and would never undermine the country’s democracy.
“President Tinubu’s commitment to the unity and progress of our great nation is unwavering. Having experienced both military rule and democratic governance, he would never undermine the very democracy he has fought to uphold,” he stated.
