Calls for Sacking of Matawalle Politically Motivated ~ Sani

A former Senator for Kaduna Central, Shehu Sani has said the continuous calls for the sack of the Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle is politically motivated and unnecessary.
‎
‎Sani stated this in an X post on Wednesday.
‎
‎Recall that President Bola Tinubu has received criticisms over his failure to remove Matawalle following Monday’s resignation of Badaru Abubakar on health grounds.
‎
‎Calls for his resignation or sack have intensified since the resurfacing of a video showing the former Zamfara governor saying not all bandits were criminals.
‎
‎But reacting to these calls, Sani said Matawalle has performed creditably, particularly in the handling of the Kebbi schoolgirls abduction saga, and should be appreciated rather than vilified.

‎Sani also hailed the appointment of Musa as the new Defence minister.

Just In: SMART SCHOOL OR SMART LOOTING? ANOTHER RECEIPT FROM IGBERE

This image is Elu-Okwe Primary School in Amaukwu Igbere, Bende LGA—a living, breathing school, not a rumour or propaganda. Yet the Abia State Government claimed it was demolished because it had been awarded for upgrade to a smart school. Today, no smart school exists. The roof is failing, classrooms leak, and pupils still run for cover whenever it rains. Despite community appeals for urgent renovation, intervention was halted on the grounds that the project had been “awarded.” Months later, nothing has happened. This raises serious questions about the state’s claim of spending ₦100 billion on public school repairs. Smart schools do not disappear, and infrastructure does not exist only on paper. Abia people are no longer asking for explanations—they are demanding results. Where are the smart schools?

Just In: Press Release From the Office of the Deputy Speaker, House of Representatives

The Office of the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives has dismissed as false and misleading the Abia State Government’s claims concerning infrastructure projects attracted by Rt. Hon. Benjamin Okezie Kalu. The office clarified that the land along the Umuahia–Bende Road was communally donated, not allocated by the state government, and described allegations of unauthorized demolition of school facilities as baseless. It further accused the Otti administration of deliberate propaganda aimed at undermining genuine development efforts, while reaffirming the Deputy Speaker’s commitment to attracting critical infrastructure to Abia State in the interest of the people.
