Tinubu Does Not Make Noise Over Security Exploits

Bola Tinubu's Silent Approach to Security Yields Results, Insights from NSA Ribadu

Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, the National Security Adviser (NSA), stated on Thursday, November 16, that under President Bola Tinubu’s government, security has improved over the last five months.

Bola Tinubu, a seasoned politician and former Governor of Lagos State, has often been described as a strategist par excellence. In the realm of security, his approach seems to differ from the norm. Rather than making grandiose public statements or engaging in verbal sparring, Tinubu’s administration has opted for a more discreet, action-driven method to address the nation’s security challenges.

Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, a key figure in the nation’s security architecture, provided valuable insights into Tinubu’s approach. In a recent statement on November 16th, Ribadu highlighted the positive changes witnessed in the security sector under President Tinubu’s leadership. The NSA underscored the effectiveness of a strategy that prioritizes action over rhetoric, stating that the administration’s commitment to results speaks volumes.

The revelation of security improvements over a relatively short span of five months raises eyebrows and invites a closer examination. What specific measures has the Tinubu administration taken to bring about such rapid changes? While the NSA did not delve into specific details during the statement, it prompts speculation on whether this success is attributed to policy reforms, enhanced intelligence efforts, or a combination of both.

The National Security Adviser added that there has been a lot of improvement in the security challenges confronting the country, stressing that militancy in the Niger Delta has been drastically reduced from what it used to be.
Ribadu said the federal government would continue to do everything possible to improve the welfare of its citizens and remain transparent in doing government business.
Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, the National Security Adviser (NSA), stated on Thursday, November 16, that under President Bola Tinubu’s government, security has improved over the last five months.

Ribadu acknowledged that the present administration inherited difficult security conditions, even though he did not place any blame on the previous administrations.

At the ongoing 19th Annual Nigerian Editors Conference in Uyo, which has as its topic “Stimulating Economic Growth and Technological Advancement: Role of the Media,” he made this statement while discussing the security situation in the nation.

The NSA appealed to Nigerians to be patient as the Tinubu-led administration tackles the security challenges confronting the country.

He said: “We are all in this together, as a National Security Adviser, you want to hear about national security. We have been there about five months few days into the office. We have given Nigeria to President Bola Tinubu to manage it for us.

“In the last five months, I have been there by his side and have seen how things were and how things are when we started and hopefully the direction we are going is okay.

“We inherited a tough period. We appeal for patience and understanding. It’s tough times and that is the reality. We are not condemning anyone but that is the truth. Those who are in charge must say the truth, say it as it is and then hopefully things will be better for you

“Like said, my coming is to identify with you. I also appeal to you for support, we are going through tough times. It requires all of us to come together. We are all in it together, it is not going to be for too long. Is a matter of time, it will be better. “

The National Security Adviser added that there has been a lot of improvement in the security challenges confronting the country, stressing that militancy in the Niger Delta had been reduced drastically from what it used to be.

He disclosed that the insecurity in the South East had also been reduced since this administration came on board, appealing that it will get better.

“Let me start with the Niger Delta, at the time we took over, the production of crude oil was 1.1 mbd. Today crude oil production is over 1.7 mbd. We have witnessed three weeks without any incident of security challenges in the Niger Delta. This is the first time since 1993 but we don’t talk.

“In the southeast, when we took over last year we had 46 police stations attacked, today we don’t have one single one. In the last two months, not a single person had been killed through violent attacks in the southeast, we don’t talk. The leadership we have in our country do understand things a bit better. Work more, talk less.”

He said the federal government would continue to do everything possible to improve the welfare of its citizens and remain transparent in doing government business.

“This government is rather the most transparent Government ever in the history of Nigeria so things publicly. Honestly, we will be sincere and do our best.
