President Tinubu expressed concerns about worsening the security situation.
Nigeria News Nalin The report said President Bola Tinubu was very concerned about the worsening security situation in the country on Wednesday and told the National Security Advisor NSA, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu and other security chiefs that “enough”.
But the National Security Adviser said the head of the security agency had removed the directive from the president and took corresponding actions.
Mallam Ribadu also said security has improved, claiming that most of the deaths and casualties recorded were due to the explosion of the IED device, planted by terrorists.
At the end of the security meeting to the closed doors of the presidential residence of the state legislature, the state legislature correspondent introduced the closed doorway of the National Security Agency (NSA) presidential villa, he said the president issued all security chief directives to end criminals and restore peace and stability.
He said: “Mr. President gave us the opportunity to introduce him, which lasted a long time. We gave him updates on the situation, what happened and what happened. He was always in touch with him even when he was there.
“He is giving instructions, he is following developments, we are responsible for safety, and today (yesterday) got the opportunity to introduce him appropriately for hours.
“And very detailed. It’s exhaustive. It’s done.
“We listened and we got instructions from him. We had new instructions. The fact is that Mr. President insisted and worked hard to ensure that we have peace, security and stability in our country.
“We gave him what was going on and we assured him that the work was in progress and continued.
“We also carried out his instructions. We walked over and the Chief was in these insecurities in our plateau states, Benue, and even Borno, and we gave him feedback because he directed us to meet with the political authorities there.
“The problem of insecurity is usually not just governments. It involves subunits. They are people directly with people, especially if certain challenges are more or less bordering on community issues.
“It’s not all, but of course, it plays an important role.
You need to work with the community. You need to work with local governments. We need to work with the governor, especially the governor. ”
He continued: “The President continues to direct this. We should do this and that’s what we can do, and we are very happy and very satisfied with the instructions and instructions from Mr. President tonight.
“He was so worried and worried that he insisted that it was enough that we were working to ensure that we restore peace and security, and that we were all there.
“The armed forces are there, the civil police, the intelligence community, they are there. They are there working there 24 hours and we feel we have done enough to think that we are on the right route and we will be able to be the most important thing.”
“We are working with leadership at the national level and everyone. So we’re fine. Nothing is 100% safe and secure, but we’re going there.”
Mallam Ribadu said things have improved after that and will continue to exist. “We will work. This is his own instructions.
“The situation in this country has changed. We continue to talk about it. Security is about relativity. What is this, what is today? You compare the past situation.
“We don’t underestimate the loss of a lifetime, either. We don’t think it easily at all. But of course, a lot of things have changed and improved, and we will continue to do so.
“We are on the right path. We are in the right direction and we are not relaxing. We are not sitting down and we don’t stop until we can achieve the results.
“Same thing as Borno. Borno State, we know things have escalated over the past few months or so, but these people you are fighting against, evil people, will not only sit down and accept failure. They will show themselves.
“Most of the deaths and casualties we record are the result of the IED, i.e., the simple explosion device, they implanted explosive devices for innocent people, and everything exploded, and then there were often a large number of casualties.
“We also see opportunistic attacks. After a period of relatively peacefulness, they will be cowardly, walk around and do a bad thing. For your message, when you keep peace and start getting used to it, if a bad event happens, you forget that you forget the period of your peaceful enjoyment. That’s what happened.
“Some people don’t sleep, stroll, don’t go for a break or a vacation, they just make sacrifices to achieve the peace sacrifice we enjoy, and they will continue to be there. I think people should also pay attention to a lot of people doing this work.”
