Lagos lawmaker, Mr Temitope Adewale, says President Bola Tinubu is irrevocably committed to the security of Nigeria and will deal ruthlessly with terrorists and their sponsors.
Adewale, representing Ifako-Ijaiye Constituency I in the Lagos State House of Assembly, said this in a statement on Friday.
He was reacting to recent comments by U.S. President Donald Trump,designating Nigeria as a “Country of Particular Concern.”
The ranking lawmaker said President Tinubu remains fully committed to protecting Nigerians and strengthening the nation’s security architecture.
“President Bola Tinubu, as a father, is not happy that bandits and terrorists are trying to downplay the gains of his administration, just as they did with previous governments.
“This is one reason the President ordered the newly appointed service chiefs to put a final end to insecurity. The current administration will never pamper terrorists or their sponsors,” he said
Adewale said the President had demonstrated strong leadership by overhauling the Armed Forces to ensure greater efficiency, discipline, and coordination in tackling the country’s security challenges.
He noted that Tinubu’s decisive actions showed that Nigeria would not compromise with those threatening its unity and peace.
According to him, the President’s determination is already inspiring confidence among citizens and international partners who value Nigeria’s stability in Africa.
Adewale also praised Tinubu’s administration for its bold economic reforms, which he said were transforming the economy and restoring investor confidence.
“In the last two years, various countries and global organisations have acknowledged Nigeria’s growing economic success,” he said.
“The administration continues to open more pathways for growth, attract multi-billion-dollar investments, and revive moribund industries, proving that the government is on the right track,” he added.
The lawmaker said economic indices had continued to show positive trends, including a stronger currency and declining inflation for the first time in years.
“For the first time, sub-national governments are financially empowered to drive development in their states,” he said.
Adewale urged global powers, especially the United States, to support Nigeria’s progress rather than issue threats or negative classifications.
“What Nigeria deserves now is international collaboration and support, not undue criticism,” he said.
He appealed to Nigerians to remain patient and committed to the Renewed Hope Agenda, assuring that the results of current reforms would soon meet citizens’ expectations.
“We must continue to encourage the new service chiefs to justify the President’s confidence in them and deliver lasting peace across the country,” Adewale said.
“With unity, discipline, and commitment, Nigeria will overcome insecurity and build a stronger, more prosperous nation under President Tinubu’s leadership,” he added. (NAN) (www.nannews.ng)
