President Tinubu Begins Two-Week Vacation in the UK
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is set to leave Abuja today for the United Kingdom, where he will embark on a two-week working vacation as part of his annual leave. According to a statement from his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, the president intends to use this time for reflection on his administration’s economic reforms.
During his recent speech for Nigeria’s 64th Independence Day, Tinubu announced plans to host a 30-day National Youth Conference aimed at involving young people in governance. He emphasized the importance of empowering the youth, who make up over 60% of the population, by giving them a platform to discuss issues such as education, employment, and security. The president expressed that the modalities for the conference and the selection of delegates would be developed in consultation with youth representatives. He reiterated his commitment to listening to their aspirations and implementing the conference’s recommendations to build a more inclusive and prosperous Nigeria.
Additionally, Tinubu highlighted his administration’s determination to reform Nigeria’s political and defense systems to ensure national stability. He commended the resilience of the Nigerian people in overcoming various crises and pledged to tackle banditry and terrorism to enable displaced farmers to return to their lands and help alleviate rising food prices.
Nigerian pastor and overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, Pastor Tunde Bakare, addresses and reacts to the current happenings of the country regarding the kidnapping and the abductions.
The pastor urges the government on steps they can take to solve and help the people of the country. “The Nigerian government has a clear and urgent duty to protect these Middle Belt communities, who have carried the weight of violence for far too long.”
“Rather than play the ostrich and cover up clear terrorism as mere farmer-herder clashes, the Nigerian state has a responsibility to invade the camps of armed marauders who hide under the cloak of herdsmen of whatever ethnicity, and who invade defenceless communities and gleefully massacre unarmed men, women and children.”
US President Donald Trump criticizes the Nigeria government once again after the increase of insecurity over the past few days. The president stated that the government is failing to protect Christian communities from the attacks going on.
“Nigeria is a disgrace. The whole thing is a disgrace,” Trump said. “They’re killing people by the thousands. It’s a genocide, and I’m really angry about it. And we pay, you know, we give a lot of subsidies to Nigeria. We’re going to end up stopping.”
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar speaks out against the rising insecurity in the country. He urged the government to take action and claimed that it is not too late to declare a state of emergency.
He reacted after another news of abduction of students was announced on the 21st of November.
“How many more lives must be shattered before decisive action is taken? It is not too late for the government to finally declare a state of emergency on insecurity and confront this menace with the urgency it deserves.”
