Presidency Claims Insecurity Has Been Degraded, Labels Current Events as Criminal Acts
According to Daniel Bwala, Special Adviser to the President on Policy Communication, the current administration has significantly worsened insecurity.
He claimed that President Bola Tinubu has fulfilled his pledge to Nigerians to ensure national security.
This was said by Bwala on Wednesday when he appeared on Politics Today on Channels Television.
Because criminal tendencies are present everywhere in the world, he said that what Nigerians currently observe has nothing to do with how well a person is governing.
“He promised electricity, but let me tell you, look at the fundamentals,” he said. First and foremost, the government will be in charge of ensuring everyone’s safety and well-being.
“Take a look at our program like this; you know how you would have relocated to this country before. Let me ask the Nigerian people, and by extension, you.
We’ve been experiencing a number of issues in Benue lately. Is it still up? In Plateau, we have. Is it still up?
“Observe the IPOB problem, unidentified shooters. You know, the murder case there in 2022 and 2023. You are aware of how they were abducting people as they visited homes in the center of the town.
“Insecurity has been degraded to a large extent,” the presidential aide continued. Since criminal tendencies are present everywhere in the world, what we are witnessing in Nigeria has nothing to do with whether a person is running their country effectively.
He stated that Nigeria’s economy was headed toward complete recovery.
Bwala added that under Tinubu’s leadership, the governors had been able to enjoy what he called their “era of oil boom” thanks to the increase in national revenue.
As a result, he declared the opposition coalition to be non-threatening.
He claimed that because the African Democratic Congress (ADC) had a political platform, the coalition leaders forcibly seized control of it.
