Former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has urged President Bola Tinubu to stop issuing watery statements condemning insecurity and seek help.
Naijaonpoint reports that Amaechi, in a statement on Wednesday, lamented that the government has failed to provide adequate protection for its citizens, citing the recent surge in terrorist attacks and mass kidnappings in some parts of the country.
Amaechi said the situation is challenging national security, noting that failure to act decisively has sadly emboldened terrorists and eroded public trust.
The former Governor of Rivers State said the current security situation calls for decisive leadership, stronger intelligence coordination, and accountability.
According to Amaechi, Tinubu must step up his game in tackling the deteriorating security crisis bedevilling the nation, stressing that they are ready to help the president if he requests help.
The statement added, “To Mr. President: your primary assignment is the security of lives and property. Enough of looking the other way or issuing watery statements of condemnation.
“Prioritizing a summit or jetting out for whatever reason when Nigerians are dying can never be the trait of a good leader. It is time to probe wrong decisions, strategize, and make tough calls.
“We did it in Rivers State; it can be done in the country. We are prepared to help if you request help”
