Former Governor of Rivers State, Rotimi Amaechi, has urged President Bola Tinubu to enhance his efforts in addressing the worsening security crisis affecting the nation.
In a statement on Wednesday, the former presidential candidate emphasized that the current security circumstances demand decisive leadership, improved intelligence coordination, and accountability, expressing readiness to assist Tinubu’s administration if needed.
He expressed concern that the government has not provided sufficient protection for its citizens, pointing to the recent increase in terrorist attacks and mass kidnappings in various regions of the country.
Amaechi remarked that the situation is “challenging our national security,” emphasizing that “this failure to act decisively has unfortunately emboldened terrorists and diminished public trust.”
He stated that the Federal Government “must enhance its response to terrorist activities, bolster military intelligence and tactical operations, and meet the expectations of its citizens.”
“To Mr. President: your primary responsibility is the security of lives and property. It is time to stop looking the other way or issuing ineffective statements of condemnation.
“Prioritizing a summit or traveling for any reason while Nigerians are suffering is not the hallmark of a good leader. It is essential to investigate poor decisions, strategize, and make difficult choices.
“We accomplished this in Rivers State; it can also be achieved nationally. We are ready to assist if you seek help,” the statement concluded.
