President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has accused his political opponents of exploiting the nation’s security challenges to force him out of office.
He made the allegation while receiving a Plateau State delegation that visited him in Abuja on Tuesday night.
Tinubu described himself as ‘’a very stubborn politician,’’ who would not only remain in office but campaign for his second term.
The President told the Plateau leaders to be mindful of playing to the ‘’hand of agents,’’ that include his ‘ enemies.’
‘’You are playing to the hand of agents, including my own enemies, who want to use insecurity to get rid of me. But I’m a very stubborn politician. I just refuse to go. And I will campaign for my second term,” Tinubu said.
The President warned that the Federal Government would move decisively against individuals instigating or financing violence across the country.
He stressed that credible intelligence would be acted upon without delay.
“If you identify and you know the name of troublemakers, agents provocateur, who want to continue killing or instigate killing, let us know. We will use the instrument of office to deal with them,” Tinubu said.
The President emphasised that security agencies stand ready to confront such threats once actionable information is provided, stating that the recurring cycle of violence must be brought to an end.
