‘God is behind you,’ Fani-Kayode backs Bello Matawalle

Former Nigerian Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, backed has announced his support for the Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, against the ‘media attacks’ targeted at him.

The former minister on his X handle on Thursday, described the attacks as ‘shameless and nauseating’, adding that it is nothing but a ‘vicious media campaign’.

Fani-Kayode in his statement, lauded Matawalle for his dedication to fighting terrorism, adding that his partnership with Nuhu Ribadu, the National Security Adviser, has been beneficial in the counter-terrorism war.

“The combination of him and NSA @NuhuRibadu has resulted in the killing of more terrorists in the last two years than in the previous eight put together. My only grouse is that for some reason, they do not make this public and let the world know about it, which I think they should. I urge my friend and brother, Matawalle, to remain focused, to continue the good work and to ignore the ‘bad belle’ distractions despite all efforts to discredit and undermine him,” he wrote.

Fani-Kayode also reiterated his support for Matawalle, encouraging him to keep up the good fight.

“We are with you, my brother, and more importantly, God is behind you,” he added.
