The Northern Christian Youth Coalition (NCYC) has called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to immediately dismiss the Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, citing what it describes as “grave allegations” that undermine the integrity of Nigeria’s security framework.
In a statement issued on Wednesday by its National Coordinator, Jeremaid Hudso Bako, the coalition urged the President to act decisively to demonstrate his commitment to integrity, good governance, and the rule of law.
Bako stated that the recent removal of Farouk Ahmed, former Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority, represented a positive step toward transparency.
He insisted, however, that the same standard of accountability must be applied to all senior officials facing serious allegations, including Matawalle.
The NCYC stressed that removing the minister is necessary to restore public trust in government institutions and uphold accountability within the nation’s security architecture.
