“Enough of looking the other way or issuing watery statements of condemnation. The primary responsibility of any government is the security of lives and property,” Amaechi said.
Amaechi: Nationwide attacks demand urgent action
Amaechi highlighted recent incidents, including attacks on civilians in Plateau, the abduction of secondary schoolgirls in Kebbi, the ambush of soldiers in Borno that led to the death and kidnapping of Brigadier General M. Uba, an attack on a church in Kwara, and the kidnapping of Rev. Fr. Bobbo Paschal in Kaduna.
“These attacks, all within a week, are too much to be ignored. The Federal Government must step up its game, strengthen military intelligence and tactical operations, and meet the expectations of the people,” he added.
Offer of support to the President
Amaechi stressed that decisive leadership and stronger coordination are required to address the crisis. He offered the support of Rivers state, citing the state’s success in managing security challenges.
“We did it in Rivers State; it can be done in the country. We are prepared to help if you request help,” he said.
Call for accountability and action
He further urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to prioritise national security, make tough decisions, and probe previous missteps.
“Prioritising summits or jetting out while Nigerians are dying is not the trait of a good leader. The current situation demands accountability and decisive action,” Amaechi concluded.
Matawalle delivers Tinubu’s strong message to Nigerian troops
Previously, Legit.ng reported that the Minister of State for Defence, Dr. Bello Muhammed Matawalle, has charged the troops of Operation FANSAN YAMMA at the North-West Theatre Command Headquarters in Gusau, Zamfara State, to eliminate the remaining remnants of bandits terrorising the region. Matawalle delivered President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s strong message to the troops.
He said Tinubu appreciates the patriotism, courage, and remarkable successes of the troops in decimating bandit formations across the Northwest. The minister stated this on Friday, November 14, 2025, shortly after observing Juma’at prayers at the Command Mosque.
Matawalle hailed the troops for their resilience and professionalism in the fight against terrorism. The former governor described their sacrifices as the bedrock of the gradual return of peace to Zamfara and neighbouring states.
