Amid Nigeria’s deepening security crisis, President Tinubu has claimed that his adversaries are exploiting the country’s instability in a bid to force him out of office, an effort he notes will ultimately fail.
Speaking with characteristic bluntness, Mr Tinubu framed the surge in insecurity not just as a national challenge but as a politically weaponised tool.
“My enemies want to use insecurity in the country to get rid of me,” he said in a short video. “But I’m a stubborn politician who refuses to go, and I will campaign for my second term.”
It is not clear whether the video was recorded recently and the forum he spoke.
The president’s remarks come at a time Nigeria is grappling with overlapping security threats across multiple regions.
