‘Tinubu is up to the task’
Eminent politician and lawyer Prince Dayo Adeyeye said insecurity would end when the sponsors of the orchestrated banditry, abductions and other forms of violence are apprehended and brought to book.
The All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain, who chairs the Board of the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), lamented that insecurity is being sponsored by some disgruntled Nigerians who want to discredit President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and scuttle his second term ambition.

Adeyeye said: “The recent violence and kidnappings in the country is being sponsored and orchestrated by some group of people who want to discredit this government and who probably are afraid that President Bola Tinubu is going to have an easy way in 2027.”
He said the insecurity is not ordinary, adding that the President is not taking the situation lightly.

Adeyeye, who said the orchestrated violence would backfire, disclosed that President Tinubu has rolled out security measures that would resolve the challenge permanently, if they are properly applied.
He added: “It is not ordinary, but I can assure you that at the moment, President Bola Tinubu is taking the situation very seriously.
“To me, the whole security situation will backfire because the president has rolled out very serious security emergency programmes, which I believe of properly implemented with more boots on the ground, with more ammunition, with states having their own police, this problem would be solved and we will put it behind us once and for all.”
