President Bola Tinubu has sent a fresh message to the Nigerian military calling on the operatives to step up the fight against insecurity.
He gave the directive during his visit to the 17 Brigade of the Nigerian Army in Katsina on Friday. The president is on a two-day official visit to the state.
He called on the troops to intensify their battle against terrorism, banditry, and insurgency.
“My dear soldiers, this is a defining moment in our history. The threats of terrorism, banditry, and insurgency have persisted for too long. Nigerians are counting on us and you to end this menace and reclaim every inch of our territory,” a statement by presidential spokesperson Bayo Onanuga quoted Tinubu.
He continued, “Let me hear you loudly: Are you ready? Are you committed to ending this insecurity once and for all? Let your resolve echo through every valley and forest. Let the enemies of Nigeria know—their time is up.”
The President added that the battle is not just about land but about Nigeria’s future. “The fight you are waging here in Katsina and across the country is not just a battle for territory; it is a battle for the soul of Nigeria. Your resilience in the face of danger inspires the entire nation.”
He told the troops their efforts would not be forgotten. “Your sacrifices do not go unnoticed. This war will not be won by weapons alone but by your will to stand, resist, fight, and triumph,” Tinubu said.
“As your President, I will match your courage with action, investment, and unwavering support,” the president promised.
