Besides President Tinubu’s proposal to drastically cut down on the cost of governance, Onanuga also defended the retention of Bello Matawalle as minister of state for defence despite.

He said that the allegation by Governor Dauda Lawal of Zamfara State of the involvement of Matawalle of involvement in banditry were investigated and found not to be true.

“As far as I am concerned they are mere allegations.”

Onanuga disclosed that he personally sent some of the published allegations to the NSA who he said investigated them and came up with the report that they were not true.

The presidential aide explained that the allegations were based on political considerations.
