Tinubu Vows Stronger Crackdown On Insecurity, Urges Governors to Protect Vulnerable Amid Inflation, Middle East
President Bola Tinubu has promised to intensify efforts against insecurity across various parts of the country.
Tinubu said this on Sunday when he hosted Vice President Kashim Shettima and 23 governors at his Lagos home for Eid el-Fitr.
“Your presence here today and the number show your sincerity, commitment and value for friendship and togetherness.
“The next phase of our struggle is staring us in the face, and that is the challenge of insecurity in the country,” the president said, according to a statement issued on Sunday by his spokesman, Bayo Onanuga.
“I am making all the efforts to ensure that we collectively share the joy of our victory over tyranny. Insecurity is an enemy of development, progress, and prosperity. I am glad you are all mindful of the challenge.
“For me, I have committed to strengthening further the contacts and networks that are necessary. One of the major discussions in the United Kingdom was on equipment and support.
“I can report to you that yesterday, again, I had a lengthy discussion with French President Emmanuel Macron. They are collaborating with us for equipment and support. I am also making frantic efforts to contact other nations,’’ he stated.
Tinubu asked the governors to show more care for the vulnerable, especially in the wake of the Middle East crisis, which has led to a rise in inflation.
