Adeboye says Tinubu has done his part on insecurity after military directives

RCCG General Overseer Enoch Adeboye says President Bola Tinubu has “done his bit” in addressing Nigeria’s worsening insecurity, responding to criticism over the pace of security improvements. Speaking at the US–Nigeria Faith Heroes Award Gala organised by Save Nigeria, Adeboye argues that the president’s role includes issuing directions to the security forces and ensuring military action is carried out. He frames Tinubu’s actions as fulfilling responsibility through directives to the military. Adeboye also says he had advised the president to adopt a time-bound approach for fighting terrorism—recommending that military commanders be given a 90-day ultimatum to eliminate terrorism or step down. The reports present Adeboye’s remarks as a defence of Tinubu, while acknowledging the broader context of persistent insecurity and public concern about government effectiveness.
