Nigeria: Ndume Urges Tinubu to Sustain Security Offensive On Terrorists

Ndume said sustained military operations have killed several bandit leaders and prompted some commanders to surrender, while urging clearer communication on hardship.

  • On Thursday, Borno South Senator Ali Ndume met President Bola Tinubu at the Presidential Villa in Abuja to discuss national insecurity and economic hardship, following the president's earlier session with security chiefs.
  • Senator Ndume commended Tinubu for prioritizing security through regular engagements with security chiefs, though he noted insecurity remains the country's greatest concern despite improvements in some regions.
  • Sustained military operations intensified pressure on criminal groups in the North-west and North-east, with bandit leaders eliminated and commanders surrendering on Wednesday. "If this momentum is sustained, we are confident the problem will eventually end," Ndume said.
  • Urging the president to communicate more frequently with Nigerians, Ndume stated, "People expect their leader to tell them what is going on instead of allowing others to speak on his behalf."
  • Tinubu proposed regular consultations to exchange ideas on tackling Nigeria's complex challenges. "We have the capacity to handle these problems. What is needed is coordination," Ndume said.
