The National Security Adviser (NSA), Nuhu Ribadu, has asserted that President Bola Tinubu and his administration inherited a deeply troubled government, especially in terms of security. Ribadu made this remark on Tuesday during a condolence visit to Benue State following the killing of over 72 people by terrorists disguised as herdsmen.
Condemning the attacks, Ribadu appealed to the people of Benue to give the Tinubu administration a chance and refrain from politicizing the tragedy.
He emphasized that such support would aid the federal government's efforts to restore peace in the state.
“Our Armed Forces are doing well. It is impossible to post soldiers or police to every hamlet. Give us a chance and stop politicizing the killings. This will help us to restore peace. Issue of security is relative,” Ribadu said.
“We inherited an extremely bad government and things have improved and we will address all these issues cropping up.
“It is a matter of time, to do the harm is easy but to solve it is difficult. We have reduced considerably the number of violence we met. This one too, we will confront it,” he added.
