Tinubu avoided Nigeria’s insecurity crisis in Independence Day speech – Atiku’s aide

Paul Ibe, media aide to Atiku Abubakar, criticized President Bola Tinubu for his Independence Day speech, accusing him of failing to adequately address Nigeria’s worsening insecurity. He noted that Tinubu made only brief references to insecurity and thanked security forces, but did not provide a detailed assessment of killings, kidnappings, and attacks across the country. Ibe emphasized that the government must confront and explain the security crisis to enable economic prosperity and social stability.
