"We urge them to take a cue from other regions of the country that steadfastly protect the reputation of their own leaders.

The forum further stated some of the reasons why Matawalle can handle his ministry which he said as a former member of the House of Representatives, who served as Chairman of the House Committee on Security and Intelligence, giving him a deep understanding of national security dynamics and making him highly suited for his current role.

"During his tenure as Governor of Zamfara State (2019-2023), he adopted both kinetic and non-kinetic strategies to reduce insecurity, improving peace and stability in the state beyond what citizens experience today under Governor Dauda Lawal.

He said some of the key achievements of matawalle on national assignments includes, enhanced Maritime and Oil Infrastructure Security.

 He successfully safeguarded onshore and offshore maritime oil facilities, contributing to an increase in national oil output to an unprecedented 1.8 million barrels per day and boosting foreign earnings.

Restructuring of Defence Industries Corporation of Nigeria (DICON),
through his leadership, DICON began indigenous assembly and production of various calibres of arms and ammunition for the Nigerian Armed Forces and for export to African markets. 

The minister also  enhanced military pension administration and the welfare of retired service members, achieving progress unmatched in recent years.

He oversaw the smooth take-off of this major security operation with its forward base in Sokoto under the 8th Division of the Nigerian, Army.
