Tinubu Loses Sleep Over Rising Insecurity – Presidency Speaks Out

The Presidency has revealed that the escalating security challenges in the country are causing President Bola Tinubu sleepless nights. Senior Special Assistant to the President on Community Engagement (North-West), Abdulillahi Yakassai, disclosed this during an interview on Channels Television’s The Morning Brief on Tuesday. Soccer

Yakassai explained that the fight against insurgency has become increasingly difficult as insurgents have shifted to guerrilla-style tactics. He cited recent incidents in Kwara State as examples of the evolving threat, emphasizing that the President holds regular security council meetings at the Presidential Villa to address the situation.

“The security situation in some areas has improved, but new tactics are emerging. Even the President is having sleepless nights due to the ongoing security challenges,” Yakassai said. He added that while the current government cannot be blamed for longstanding crises, certain elements appear to be exploiting insecurity to tarnish the administration’s image.

Yakassai highlighted progress in several regions, noting that insecurity between Abuja and Kaduna has significantly reduced, and reports from Zamfara State are now minimal. However, insurgents have redirected their activities to other areas, including Niger and Kwara states. Following his appointment, the Inspector General of Police prioritized addressing security incidents in these affected regions.

The Presidential aide stressed that the government remains committed to tackling insecurity and restoring stability across the country.
