President Bola Tinubu has vowed that his administration will defeat banditry and terrorism, assuring all that security forces are “fighting very hard” to restore peace and stability across the country.
Tinubu spoke on Wednesday night at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, when he received leaders of the Ogbia community of Bayelsa State, pledging that his government would sustain the push against violent groups while also expanding development interventions in the Niger Delta.
The President’s latest pledge came as communities in parts of the North-West, North-East and North-Central continue to battle insurgency, banditry, kidnappings and attacks on rural settlements, with the Federal Government repeatedly insisting that security operations have recorded gains through arrests and the disruption of criminal networks.
Tinubu told the Bayelsa delegation that the country’s security challenges were numerous but stressed that the government was not relenting, as troops intensify operations against terrorists and bandits.
