A prominent critic of the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has expressed concern over the country’s security situation, declaring that Nigeria is no longer safe for its citizens under the current government.
The remark comes amid growing concerns about rising cases of kidnapping, banditry, armed attacks, and other violent crimes reported across several parts of the country.
According to the critic, the persistent insecurity has left many Nigerians living in fear, with communities increasingly vulnerable to criminal activities. The statement called on the Federal Government to intensify efforts to protect lives and property and restore public confidence in the nation’s security architecture.
The administration of President Tinubu has repeatedly maintained that it is committed to tackling insecurity and has continued to deploy security agencies to troubled regions. Government officials have also pointed to ongoing military operations and security reforms aimed at addressing the challenges.
However, opposition figures and concerned citizens argue that more decisive measures are needed to curb the wave of violence and ensure the safety of Nigerians.
Security remains one of the key issues dominating national discourse, with stakeholders urging stronger collaboration between the federal, state, and local governments to confront the threat posed by criminal groups across the country.
