Tinubu Faces Criticism Amid Nigeria Security Crisis

President Bola Tinubu has reaffirmed his commitment to restoring peace in Nigeria, issuing clear directives to the armed forces to end violence following attacks in Plateau and Benue states that left at least 52 dead and nearly 2,000 displaced. Tinubu's administration asserts progress in security and economic recovery despite facing criticism from opposition leaders, such as Peter Obi and Reno Omokri, over his prolonged absence and security handling. The president's Easter message called for unity and resilience, drawing parallels between national challenges and Christian hope. Tinubu has denied that his working visit to France is health-related, emphasizing ongoing governance and remote leadership. He also highlighted efforts to address legacy debts and economic difficulties without defaulting or excessive borrowing. The nation remains anxious as calls for stronger presidential leadership and urgent solutions to the security and economic crises continue.
