Tinubu Vows to Support Nigerian Armed Forces in Fight Against Insurgents
President Bola Tinubu has reiterated his strong support for the Nigerian Armed Forces, vowing to stand by them as they confront any threats challenging the country’s security.
Speaking at the groundbreaking ceremony for the new Armed Forces Headquarters complex in Abuja, Tinubu expressed confidence in the military’s readiness to tackle insurgents and assured that victory is certain.
He praised the Nigerian Armed Forces for their commitment, describing them as “cohesive” and “ready to fight against all forms of insurgency.”
Tinubu emphasized, “I’m proud to say that the Nigerian Army is united, strong, and prepared for any challenge. They will continue to triumph, and we will stand by them.
I’m deeply grateful to all the brave men and women in uniform. To those who have opposed our forces, I send a clear message: our military will win, as they always have.”
The president also commended the Chief of Army Staff (COAS) for his vision of building state-of-the-art barracks, ensuring that the forces are well-equipped and supported.
It was reported that former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has reacted to the recent abduction incident in Oyo State.
It can be recalled that schools were attacked by armed men, with some teachers and students reportedly taken. Some people were also killed during the attack.
CAN cried out on behalf of the public, stating “It is intolerable, disgraceful and utterly unacceptable that Nigerian children can no longer sit safely in classrooms without the fear of being kidnapped by armed gangs.”
The organisation also stated that Nigerians are tired of constantly mourning and questioning when something will finally be done to stop the violence.
The Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, has revealed that seven teachers were abducted following a recent attack on a school in the state.
It was also shared that the number of students taken is still being investigated.
The governor further revealed that some people were killed during the attack and abduction.
He also added “With the pressure on the terrorists and the bandits in the North-West, they will keep moving southward.”
“When you have pressure in one place, we must be prepared on this side to either repel or neutralise any terrorists fleeing the pressure points.”
