On Tuesday, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, the Interior Minister, has made it known that the federal government is putting all efforts in places to ensure the menace of insecurity challenges are tackled to an end in the country.
Tunji-Ojo said this while appearing as a guest on Channels Television’s Politics Today, stating that the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu; the Minister of Defence, Mohammed Badaru and the Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, are losing sleep over the issue.
“Nobody is resting. Not the NSA, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, not the Minister of Defence, not the Chief of Defence Staff, not the DSS.
“Nobody is sleeping, we are working. This security issue is a major issue of national concern and I will not sit here and refuse to take responsibility for the security of Nigerians on behalf of the President,” the minister said.
He, however, urged Nigerians not to judge Tinubu, saying the President is aware of the security challenges.
“The President is sensitive to these issues. Do not judge the President, or this administration by the level of assurance. Talk is cheap, the real deal is the action.
“We came May 29 last year, I don’t want us to bring politics into this. We all know the situations across the board, have we gotten to where we want to get to? The answer is no. Are we where we were? The answer is no. We have made progress,” Tunji-Ojo stated.
