Nigeria’s First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, has disclosed that President Bola Tinubu sometimes sleeps as late as 3 a.m. while working round the clock to tackle insecurity in the country.
The First Lady, while speaking with Ekiti State traditional rulers at a meeting held at Jibowu Hall, Government House in Ado-Ekiti, during her visit to the state, reaffirmed Tinubu’s commitment to the security of citizens’ lives and property and assured Nigerians that he will restore security in the country.
She said the President has partnered with the United States and other countries to curb insecurity in Nigeria. The First Lady added that Tinubu is taking internal security measures to combat terrorism and insecurity.
“It is disheartening that we have this insecurity. A lot of foreign countries are helping our nation. The US and some other developed countries are helping us in this matter. Some of those terrorising us are non-Nigerians. No matter what happens, we shall overcome; Nigeria is too great to be intimidated,” she said.
“Let us bear in mind that we have a great country. Challenges will come, but collectively, we can tackle them. I can assure you, we don’t have Mondays or Sundays; the President is working round the clock to get this matter resolved. At times, Mr President will sleep at 3:00 am, and God has been faithful. Let us be prayerful about our nation. It is prayers that have taken us this far.”
The Chairman, Ekiti State Council of Traditional Rulers and Ogoga of Ikere Ekiti, Oba Adejimi Adu Alagbado, appealed to the Nigerian government to review the kidnapping law to impose stricter punitive measures on criminals.
“No country is devoid of criminals. But there should be a review of the country’s laws addressing insecurity. Kidnapping has been on for some time. All those that are aiding and abetting kidnapping, we have not seen any punitive measures being taken against them. There should be a review of the laws dealing with these murderers.
“The bill for the creation of state police should be fast-tracked. Our people are not cowards, but our hands are tied, because our people can’t carry AK-47 to face these criminals”.
