Tinubu saved Nigeria from dangerous crossroad – NSA Ribadu
The National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, has said that President Bola Tinubu rescued Nigeria when the country was at a dangerous crossroad, facing multiple crises that threatened its unity and stability.
Ribadu stated this in Abuja at the 50th anniversary celebration of the Nigerian Defence Academy’s 18 Regular Course.
He described the situation as dire, with security threats cutting across all regions of the country.
According to him, the challenges spanned the country, from the insurgency-ravaged North East to the violence-plagued North West, the restive Niger Delta, and separatist agitations in the South East.
The former EFCC boss reaffirmed the Tinubu administration’s commitment to overcoming what he termed inherited, intractable security challenges.
The NSA said bold strides have been made in restoring security and rebuilding national confidence across the country.
He disclosed that the government’s counterinsurgency efforts have so far led to the neutralisation of over 13,500 terrorists and criminals, while more than 124,000 Boko Haram and ISWAP fighters, along with their families, have surrendered.
Ribadu also recommended the active engagement of military veterans in the ongoing fight against insecurity, emphasising the value of their experience and knowledge in addressing complex threats.
