₦airaland Forum

President Bola Tinubu says insecurity remains the most troubling challenge facing Nigeria, especially the Northern region.

He said on Saturday in Kaduna that urgent efforts were required to rebuild trust, strengthen unity and restore safety across communities.

Tinubu, represented by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, spoke at the 25th Anniversary of the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) and the launch of its Endowment Fund.

The president said insecurity must be tackled decisively to prevent further economic decline and educational setbacks.


Tinubu said, “Nothing troubles me more gravely than the security crisis bedevilling Nigeria, especially Northern Nigeria,

“We cannot prosper when one limb of the national body is paralysed.”

He said his administration inherited complex security challenges but was addressing them with “urgency and determination.”

The president said that the government was committed to eliminating terrorist and bandit groups operating in the North and reversing the region’s economic decline.

He expressed optimism about Northern Nigeria’s economic prospects, saying he looks forward to the day crude oil tankers begin to roll out from Kolmani and other northern oil fields.


He said the North must speak with honest and courageous voices to address its challenges, warning that the region cannot progress if leaders fail to protect vulnerable communities.

“We fail the day we sleep comfortably while millions sleep with empty bellies, the day fear becomes a permanent companion for travellers,” he said.

Tinubu added that although decades of dysfunction had strained unity, the diversity represented at the ACF anniversary demonstrated a collective resolve to resist division and restore solidarity.

The president praised the ACF for serving as the conscience of Northern Nigeria for 25 years, saying that the forum had consistently defended dignity, fairness and equality for millions.


He described the Silver Jubilee as a celebration of courage, advocacy and principled service.

Tinubu urged leaders across all sectors to recommit to the values that guided the founding of the ACF, stressing that the unity and stability of the North were vital to Nigeria’s overall peace and development.

2027 will be tough and I tell alot

Because of the hatred of the cockroach, the mosquitoes voted for the insecticide but when it came, it killed both the cockroach and the mosquitoes including the fly that never voted.

I thought he actually staggered to Kaduna to spew this trash.

Somebody sitting cozily in his house enjoying hot Amala, gbegiri and ewedu with assorted meat got no worries.

PBAT go dey regret on a low key by now.

Say the mantle wey he snatch and use run away come later too dey heavy for am to carry

Dear President do something instead of the endless talk show. Your appointees are largely incompetent. Shake up the weak cabinet

No, it’s Rufai from Arise TV… sometimes I wonder if that guy is truly a Yoruba guy… that guy thinks differently way better than other Yoruba people.
If I go further to illustrate what he said, seun fit ban me… na only wise person go fit understand that write up

Rufai is so courageous. He’s the voice of the people.

Its something worrisome his Excellency. Your trying is not enough at the moment.

We want every part of the country to be secured

I remain skeptical. We haven’t seen any decisive action since these attacks began, killings are now almost daily, and bandits and terrorists flaunt their acts online. As Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, what use is his position if citizens continue to live in fear? He needs to show Nigerians he is truly in charge, not just make speeches. Words alone won’t restore safety or trust.

Make this one dey deceive himself.

Person wey dey smile for one video as e dey watch fight for PDP headquarters.

Come still dey lie on top

Tinubu!
Tinubu!!
Tinubu!!!
Karma is real

Hahahahahahahahaha

E reach to laugh out loud




Dis sweet go reach everybody

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕 no twenty more characters to give abeg

Baba calm down with these narratives.


With the same mouth you say you inherited challenges with that same mouth you say you would build on the legacy, which legacy? The same one you claim to have inherited challenges from?

Nothing worries you more than getting a second term in 2027,if that isn't the case, why are all the PDP Governors decamping to APC?
What u said here is just a political statement.

Same people that planned against Jonathan is planning against you.

You were rejoicing and supporting them during Jonathan’s regime. Feel same hit

Uncle Ahmed you failed on all front. Shame on you. To think I became enemies of people for believing in you, campaigned for u, lost my phones, money and my Benz got destroyed by your haters . You messed up big time uncle

Naaah nothing worries you more than 2027 elections

Meaninglessly spoken to sound like he cares about the people who gave him their sovereignty to temporarily exercise in providing government services and utilities like the security of lives and property.

It's actually difficult to believe considering all that's happened all through 2025 alone🙄, because I didn't want to assign blame for the previous 2 years. 🤷🏿‍♂️

Definitely hiding under “ inherited “ ….thought you said you can do it better

For a president who campaigned on “renewed hope,” calling insecurity “the most troubling challenge” after nine years of APC rule is an admission of failure, not leadership. Northern insecurity did not start yesterday; it escalated under the same political structure he represents. Between 2015 and 2023, over 63,000 Nigerians were killed by terrorism, banditry, and communal violence (Global Terrorism Index, SBM Intelligence). In 2022 alone, Nigeria ranked 8th most terror-affected country in the world despite years of promises. So if “nothing troubles him more,” it is fair to ask: why did his party let the crisis deepen for nearly a decade?

Calling it “inherited” is a political escape route. Tinubu and APC cannot inherit what they have governed for two consecutive terms; they inherited their own record. And if urgency truly existed, the North-West and North-Central would not still be suffering mass kidnappings, ransom economies, school closures, and rural displacement at levels higher than 2014. Over 1,400 schools in Northern Nigeria remain shut due to insecurity (UNICEF, 2023). That alone contradicts the claim of urgency.

He says Nigeria “cannot prosper when one limb is paralysed,” yet the same limb has been paralysed for years under the same leadership, with no structural reforms to intelligence, state policing, border control, or judicial accountability. The North bleeds, not because Nigeria lacks speeches, but because it lacks political will to dismantle the networks that benefit from chaos, illicit mining, arms smuggling, and unregulated borders.

And invoking Kolmani oil as hope is even more misplaced. The North doesn’t need oil rhetoric; it needs security, farming revival, industrial investment, and functioning local economies. Oil talk has never fed displaced families or reopened schools closed by bandits.

The president wants the North to “speak honestly.” Fine — honesty begins with admitting that Nigeria’s insecurity crisis is not just inherited; it was mismanaged, ignored, politicised, and allowed to metastasise for years. Until that truth is confronted, every statement from Aso Rock remains a recycled script, not a solution.

Then resign oga that was what you told GEJ



You accused him several times of inefficiency now it's your turn you worry about it

All this one you are saying is lies, your government is not competent, just as you said to GEJ, kindly resign and retire back to Lagos, stop forcing things that's is not naturally for you...

Where is the cow? Have we seen the cow yet. The hypocritical tribe say there is no genocide in Nigeria.

Drug dealer don talk after sniffing white powder!
