Matawalle wears military khaki to Sokoto

However, Matawalla, who is a two-time former governor of Zamfara state, had appeared in Sokoto state in a military khaki steeze, a development which attracted the attention of Bwala, a legal practitioner.

During the visit, the minister was joined by other military chiefs in a move to fish out the terrorist group disturbing the peace of the region.

Only Tinubu can wear military khaki as civilian

However, Bwala, a legal practitioner and Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), maintained that the dressing of the minister was uncalled for, adding that it was illegal for the former governor to wear the military Khaki because he is a minister.

According to Bwala, only President Bola Tinubu has the constitutional right to wear the military khaki because he is the Commander in Chief of the Federal Republic.

Bwala's tweet reads in part:

"There is absolutely no reason or sense in Mutawali wearing a military uniform as seen in this picture. This fight against insecurity is not a joke. Only the president, who is a commander in chief of the armed forces, can wear a military uniform as a civilian."
