Insecurity: Nobody Is Sleeping, We Are Working – Tinubu’s Minister

Eid-El-Kabir: FG Declares Public Holiday

The Interior Minister, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, on Tuesday revealed that President Bola Tinubu-led government is making efforts to tackle the security challenges in the country.

Tunji-Ojo stated this during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today.

He said the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu; the Minister of Defence, Mohammed Badaru and the Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, are losing sleep over the issue.

According to Tunji-Ojo, “Nobody is resting. Not the NSA, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, not the Minister of Defence, not the Chief of Defence Staff, not the DSS.

“Nobody is sleeping, we are working. This security issue is a major issue of national concern, and I will not sit here and refuse to take responsibility for the security of Nigerians on behalf of the President.”

He stated that security has improved in the country since President Bola Tinubu’s administration came on board, adding that Boko Haram terrorists and the Islamic State of West Africa Province (ISWAP) have been degraded by troops.

The minister explained that the current administration has led by example in securing the lives and properties of Nigerians.

During the show, the minister weighed in on the recent attack by a new terror group in Sokoto and Kebbi State.

He urged Nigerians not to judge Tinubu, saying the President is aware of the security challenges.

The minister said, “The President is sensitive to these issues. Do not judge the President, or this administration by the level of assurance. Talk is cheap, the real deal is the action.

“We came May 29 last year, I don’t want us to bring politics into this. We all know the situations across the board, have we gotten to where we want to get to? The answer is no. Are we where we were? The answer is no. We have made progress.”
