Having hearkened to popular agitation and declared a state of emergency on national security, President Bola Tinubu should also muster the political will and go tough on those found complicit in making Nigeria unsafe, no matter how highly placed, Ejiofor Alike reports
To the admiration of his supporters and critics alike, President Bola Tinubu last week took an audacious step towards tackling the country’s security challenges by declaring a national security emergency across the country.
Before the emergency declaration, many Nigerians, including opposition leaders such as former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and the presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 general election, Peter Obi had consistently called for a state of emergency on security.
