A former presidential aide, Babafemi Ojudu, has expressed concern over Nigeria’s escalating security crisis, warning that continued failure to address it could threaten the nation’s democratic stability.
Ojudu made the remarks today in a televised interview and called on President Bola Tinubu to take urgent and decisive action.
“I think the security situation is worrisome, and I’m not happy with the way it’s being handled. It is being treated as if it’s a skirmish between two policemen or some bad boys on the street. The President must sit up. This is a serious challenge to the existence of this country.”
The senator, who represented Ekiti Central, criticised the administration’s response as inadequate, referencing the recent violence in parts of Benue, Plateau, and Kogi states.
