South Korean authorities have made history by arresting impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol on charges of insurrection, marking the first time an incumbent leader has been detained in the country.

Yoon, who has been embroiled in controversy following his suspension after declaring martial law on December 3, claimed he reluctantly agreed to comply with what he called an unlawful investigation to avoid violence.

The arrest came after a dramatic standoff, with more than 3,000 police officers converging on Yoon’s hillside residence early on Wednesday to carry out the arrest.

Despite his earlier defiance, which included a personal security team blocking a previous attempt, Yoon chose to surrender to the authorities, stating that his decision was made to prevent bloodshed.

“I decided to cooperate with the CIO’s investigation, even though it is illegal, to avoid unnecessary violence,” Yoon said, referring to the Corruption Investigation Office for High-Ranking Officials, the body leading the probe.

Two years into his administration, President Tinubu highlights key achievements in Nigeria’s economy and social sectors. He reminds Nigerians of the tough choices made early on, like removing fuel subsidies and fixing foreign exchange policies, to stop the country from slipping into crisis. These bold moves have started to pay off.

Inflation is easing, staple food prices are dropping, and the oil sector is seeing renewed growth with billions invested. The government has improved revenue collection, narrowed the fiscal deficit, and built up reserves to protect Nigeria from shocks.

Tax reforms are helping small businesses and protecting low-income families by cutting VAT on essentials like food and education. The administration is also supporting new industries through targeted incentives and making trade easier and fairer.

On the social front, health services are expanding with thousands of primary health centers being upgraded and new cancer treatment centers opening. Free and subsidized medical care is reaching more Nigerians, while health insurance coverage grows steadily.

The president also points to progress in education, youth empowerment, and infrastructure development as the foundation for long-term growth. Despite challenges, these efforts show that Nigeria is moving in the right direction, building a stronger economy and better future for all its people.

Since taking office two years ago, President Tinubu has been clear that improving security and investing in the nation’s people are top priorities. He recognizes that without safety, the economy and daily life cannot thrive. His administration has worked hard to strengthen collaboration among security agencies, increase intelligence operations, and support the welfare of the military and police. According to him, it is thanks to these efforts, some regions once troubled by bandits have seen peace return, allowing farmers to get back to work and roads to become safer for travelers.

Beyond security, the government is focused on building a brighter future through education, healthcare, and youth empowerment. Investments in schools and student loans aim to give more Nigerians access to quality education. Health programs have upgraded thousands of primary health centers, introduced cancer treatment centers, and expanded health insurance coverage. The administration has also launched initiatives to create jobs, support small businesses, and encourage innovation—especially among young people eager to shape Nigeria’s tomorrow.

President Tinubu believes these steps are creating a foundation for lasting growth and opportunity. While challenges remain, the commitment to protecting citizens and developing human capital signals a hopeful path forward for Nigeria’s future.
