President Bola Tinubu has vowed never to succumb to terrorism, banditry or any form of criminal intimidation, promising to intensify efforts at reducing the economic hardship confronting Nigerians.

Tinubu made these remarks through the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume, on Sunday at the National Inter-Denominational Church Service held at the National Christian Centre in Abuja, as part of activities marking the 2026 Democracy Day celebration.

The service, themed “God of Hope, Actualise Our Dreams,” was attended by Senate President Godswill Akpabio, Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives Benjamin Okezie Kalu, Minister of Foreign Affairs Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu, and the Head of Civil Service of the Federation, Mrs. Didi Walson-Jack.

The SGF, while delivering President Tinubu’s message, congratulated Nigerians on 27 uninterrupted years of democratic rule since 1999, describing the milestone as a testament to the resilience and sacrifices of citizens who fought for the restoration of democracy.

He paid tributes to pro-democracy activists of the June 12 struggle, noting that many endured persecution, injuries and death in that quest.

According to him, the government was fully aware of the economic strain, insecurity, kidnappings and displacement affecting communities across the country.

“The government is sensitive to all these pains, shares in these pains and has heard your cries,” he said, adding that Tinubu was addressing the challenges with compassion and a strong sense of responsibility.

Speaking on security, the President described recent attacks and abductions as painful reminders that more work remained to be done, but assured citizens that the safe return of all persons in captivity remained a national priority.

He added security agencies were being supported with the necessary resources to protect lives, secure communities and preserve Nigeria’s territorial integrity.

“The government of Nigeria shall never succumb to terror, banditry or any form of criminal intimidation,” he declared.

Sustainable action speaks louder than words. Get cracking, buy advanced surveillance and attack infrared drones and then totally BAN in the entire Nigeria, the obnoxious open grazing by foreign Fula herders and their militia bandits' wing. Let them do their open grazing of cows in their own countries of Mauritania, Senegal, Mali, etc. Period.

What is remaining to surrender?

The Takeover of Nigeria and the Infiltration of the Nigerian Army and Armed Forces.

Many Nigerians are looking at the crisis consuming our nation and seeing only the symptoms. They see the kidnappings. They see the massacres. They see the destruction of villages. They see the terrorists displaying weapons on social media. They see farmers abandoning their lands and entire communities living in fear.

What many fail to see is the connection between these events.

To understand what is happening today, one must go back to the aftermath of the Orkar Coup of 1990.

Following the coup attempt, many officers from the Middle Belt and other parts of Nigeria found their military careers abruptly ended or severely limited. My father being a victim of that sudden change. Vacancies emerged within the military hierarchy and were rapidly filled through accelerated promotions.

At first, these promotions appeared to favor northern officers generally. But over time, the concentration became increasingly narrow and focused on the Fulani officers. What emerged was a military structure that many Nigerians believe became disproportionately dominated by one ethnic bloc.

The consequences of that transformation are now being felt across the country.

For decades, Nigerians were taught that the military was the final guardian of national unity. We believed that when politicians failed, when governors failed, when institutions failed, the armed forces would remain loyal to the Nigerian state above all else.

Today that confidence has largely disappeared.

How else can one explain the extraordinary freedom enjoyed by terrorist groups?

How do terrorists move sophisticated weapons across hundreds of kilometers without detection?

How do they maintain supply chains, fuel networks, communication systems, intelligence gathering capabilities, and financial operations while supposedly being "hunted" by one of Africa's largest militaries?

How do kidnappers negotiate ransoms for weeks using mobile networks that expose their locations by simple triangulation? Networks these criminals and ordinary citizens depend upon every day?

How do terrorist financiers move money through the banking system repeatedly without raising red flags, inspiring investigation or permanently dismantled?

These questions deserve answers.

Many Nigerians have concluded that the answer is not military weakness.

The answer is infiltration. Yes, INFILTRATION.

The evidence, they argue, is not found in a single document or a single confession. It is found in patterns. Patterns we have come to be very familiar with.

It is found in the repeated failure to decisively eliminate groups whose locations are often without a doubt, known.

It is found in the willingness of some officials to use language that appears to humanize terrorists while ordinary Nigerians are being slaughtered. Special attention to the chief of Army staff calling these terrorists "our brothers".

It is found in the apparent inability—or unwillingness—to impose dire consequences on those who sponsor, finance, harbor, or collaborate with these criminal organizations.

Most importantly, it is found in the confidence with which these groups operate.

These are not the actions of men who fear the state.

These are the actions of men who believe the state fears them.

These are the actions of men who believe they have people in high places guaranteeing their protection and whose interest they represent.

These are the actions of men who believe they are above the law and everyone else is below them.

These are the actions of men who believe the weapons they carry gives them power nothing else could ever give them.

These are the actions of men who do not hesitate to kill doctors, nurses, soldiers, military generals, teachers and children. Yes, CHILDREN.

The frightening possibility is that Nigeria is not merely facing an insurgency.

Nigeria may be witnessing a gradual capture of its institutions.

Every successful takeover in history follows a similar pattern.

The objective is not immediate conquest.

The primary objective is infiltration.

Positions of influence within our highest institutions are occupied.

The institutions are weakened.

Opposition is neutralized and completely destroyed.

Demographic and territorial realities are altered.

Control expands gradually until resistance becomes impossible.

By the time the public recognizes what is happening, the process is already too far advanced.

This is why many Nigerians no longer see terrorism, banditry, mass kidnappings, rural displacement, and political silence as separate issues.

Some of us see them as interconnected parts of a larger struggle over the future identity of Nigeria.

Whether this interpretation is correct or not, one fact is beyond dispute.

Millions of Nigerians have lost faith in the ability of the state to protect them.

Villages have been erased.

Families have been destroyed.

Farmers have abandoned ancestral lands.

Children have been kidnapped from schools.

Communities have been forced into permanent fear.

The question now confronting the nation is simple:

Is Nigeria dealing with a mere security failure or a structured, deliberate, gradual and persistent National take over?

Is Nigeria witnessing the slow takeover of its institutions by forces operating from both outside and within?

The answer to that question may determine whether future generations inherit the Federal Republic of Nigeria as we know it today—or something entirely different.

History teaches that nations are rarely conquered from the outside.

More often, they are captured from within.

And if that is what is happening in Nigeria, then the greatest battle before us is not in the forests, mountains, or villages.

It is inside the institutions that were created to defend the nation itself.

One by one and all at once.

Copied.

How can someone vow not to surrender to his goons and cronies? That person should be watched closely because he will most likely be a betrayer.

Thank you PBAT
Please start with state policing or any security architecture that places the security of the people in their own hands. No criminal can hide under the nose of an empowered people. Trim this slow command structure from Abuja that only end up making the people sitting ducks for these aggressors who, interestingly, seem to have an organised way of getting weapon supplies.
We trust you to deliver.

President Bola Tinubu’s firm stance against terrorism and criminal intimidation reflects strong leadership and a clear commitment to safeguarding Nigeria’s future. His resolve to confront insecurity while addressing economic hardship demonstrates courage, responsibility, and a deep understanding of the nation’s most pressing challenges.

Senator Oluremi Tinubu scolds Sen. Smart Adeyemi at NASS plenary

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5isePNNupFI

During the emotional April 2021 Senate session, Senator Smart Adeyemi stood up to address the floor on Nigeria's worsening national security crisis, declaring that the country was bleeding and that lawmakers could no longer stay silent.

As he passionately urged the government to take drastic action against rampant kidnappings and killings, Senator Oluremi Tinubu interrupted him mid-speech, audibly questioning his party loyalty by asking if he was a wolf in sheep's clothing or a member of the opposition PDP. Adeyemi brushed off the interruption and continued his speech, but the intense, televised exchange between the two APC lawmakers instantly went viral, creating a lasting public association of conflict between Adeyemi and the Tinubu family.

Senator Smart Adeyemi: "Mr. President [of the Senate], insecurity is a serious problem today in Nigeria.... We cannot run away from the fact that, more than ever before in the history of our nation, this is the worst insecurity we have faced since after the Civil War. ...The President must rise to the occasion to resolve the security challenges... If we cannot save the country, then we should shut down the National Assembly and go home. Nigeria is bleeding."

Senator Oluremi Tinubu (Interrupting loudly):
"Are you in PDP? Are you a wolf in sheep’s clothing?"

Senator Smart Adeyemi (Responding immediately):
"Mr. President, I am an APC member. Let me tell you the truth, I am an APC member and I will remain an APC member. But I will tell the truth when it comes to the safety of our country. My people are being killed, and I cannot sit down here and look at what is happening and keep quiet. We cannot pretend that we are capable of handling the situation in our hands. The system has failed, and we must seek foreign assistance."

👆 This was 5 years ago. Same party members. Same people in government. What do you expect?

That's someone that already sold her soul. It's all about sharing formula to them.

Chai, Nigeria is gone! Other nations are vowing to retaliate the attacks from other sovereign nations, but Nigeria is making vows not to surrender to ordinary bandits? Is this all we have got doing, wether bandits will win or Nigeria will win? What is even bringing this kind of suggestion to the president?

Trash... What we need is for the president to use the same energy he said "subsidy is gone" to say "Open grazing is baned", "We closing our borders" "kidnapping/Banditry/Terrorism is now punishable by death penalty"

That will definitely be his worse decision for Nigerians. U think this Fulani people will be happy with that decision? if they can't graze openly again then they will then choose to focus mainly on terrorism Nd there will b more recruits and more mortality rate in the country. Do u think you people are smarter than the government. there are lots of intelligent people working for the government.
