Is a navigation drawer preferred over a menu when menu items are not the main function?

I'm doubting whether a navigation drawer or a simple Android menu would be more user-friendly in the following case.

I have the following menu items (which are obviously not the main functions of the app):

  • News (opens a Twitter page)
  • Settings
  • Help
  • About

My thinking was that since these menu items are not main functionality of the app, it is fine to keep them a bit hidden in the Android ActionBar menu.

Are there any possible reasons why the navigation drawer would be better in this case?
