According to the federal administration, it has asked Turkey for assistance in addressing the nation’s present security issues.
According to a statement from his Special Advisor on Information & Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, President Bola Tinubu addressed yesterday at a meeting with a delegation of the Christian Association of Nigeria, led by its President, Archbishop Daniel Okoh, at his Lagos home.
According to Channels TV, he urged CAN to collaborate with his administration in order to fulfill the goals of the country as a whole, saying that some of the policies implemented by his administration required time to develop.
Despite the size of our uncontrolled areas, the country is in a tranquil mood. It is a great struggle, but we will overcome it. We have a strong religious conviction. We are warriors of prayer. We require your collaboration, attention, and watchfulness.
“Once the National Assembly completes the necessary legislative inputs, Community and State Police will become a reality; military hardware is difficult to replace.” It costs a lot and isn’t readily available.
It will take some time for the four assault helicopters that we ordered from the United States of America to arrive. We have asked for help from Turkey.
The breakthrough came after FG and the US recently collaborated to combat insurgency and insecurity in the nation.
Trump announced on Truth Social Thursday that the United States had launched an attack in North-West Nigeria, killing a number of terrorists.
Later, the Nigerian government acknowledged the attacks and claimed that the US was involved in their execution.
However, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has criticized the strike.
The federal government was criticized by the party for failing to declare the US airstrikes before to President Donald Trump’s announcement.
According to Ini Ememobong, a spokesman for the PDP, the federal government should have informed Nigerians prior to the US authorities doing so.
Ememobong stated in a statement yesterday that the federal government should have been the first to announce the news in order to adequately educate the Nigerian people, rather than waiting to confirm news that was already in circulation, unless they were caught off guard like the rest of the population.
Sheikh Abubakar Gumi, an Islamic cleric, requested that Nigeria immediately cease all military collaboration with the United States in response to the United States’ attacks on ISIS militants on Christmas Day.
Gumi cautioned in a post on his Facebook page that any military action by a foreign power, especially the US, would worsen rather than alleviate insecurity.
“Nigeria should seek assistance from those neutral nations mentioned and immediately cease all military cooperation with the United States due to its imperial tendencies worldwide.” Nigerians are too well-educated to be taken advantage of. He wrote yesterday, “This will be a 2027 campaign discourse.”
The divisive preacher urged the federal government to look to nations he characterized as more “neutral,” including China, Turkey, and Pakistan, for military support instead.
