so there’s been a lot of talk about the security situation in Nigeria, and it looks like President Buhari left a pretty tough situation for President Tinubu to handle. Nuhu Ribadu, the National Security Adviser, said that things have been really challenging and that they need everyone’s support to get through it. He mentioned that there have been some improvements in the Niger Delta and the South East, but there’s still a long way to go. On the other hand, Peter Obi, a presidential candidate, disagreed with Ribadu’s comments and said that the previous government didn’t do a great job either. He pointed out that the debt increased a lot and the overall situation got worse. Meanwhile, lawmakers are not happy with the service chiefs for not showing up when they were summoned to discuss security challenges. They want the top military leaders to be there in person. There’s a lot of concern about the security crises in different parts of the country, and everyone is calling for better coordination and synergy between the security forces. Ireti Kingibe, the chairperson of the Senate Committee on Women Affairs, also emphasized the need for inclusivity in the armed forces, especially for women. She believes that promoting diversity and inclusivity will make Nigeria safer in many ways. It’s a challenging time, but everyone is hoping for better days ahead.
