You’ve shown courage against terror —Tinubu hails Nigerian Armed Forces
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has hailed Nigeria’s Armed Forces for the successes recorded so far against insecurity.
In a statement on Wednesday by a presidential spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga, the president disclosed this at the plenary session on Peace and Stability at the 9th meeting of the Tokyo International Conference for African Development (TICAD9).
He described the current momentum in the Nigerian Armed Forces as a springboard for national development and stability.
He, however, decried that conflicts are still ongoing in many African countries despite some progress.
“Nigeria understands this process well. We believe inclusivity and diversity under the rule of law are our strengths. We have argued for this vision, and we have fought for it. We are still fighting for it today. We have learned that our brave armed forces can win many battles. But we can do justice to their heroism and sacrifice only when we, as governments, display the courage to be tough, not only on terror, but on the causes of terror,” he said.
This comes as the National Security Adviser (NSA), Nuhu Ribadu, said Nigerian security has arrested Ansaru terrorist group leader with affiliation to Al-Qaeda, Abu Baraa.
The Baraa’s arrest has attracted praise from the US government.
