President Bola Tinubu told the TICAD9 summit that “Nigeria’s brave armed forces can win any number of battles,” but insisted the government must courageously address the root causes of insurgency.
He lauded the military’s successes but warned peace demands fighting more than terrorism itself.
Tinubu’s strong words on security have gone viral, with some cheering national pride and others questioning if reforms will follow.
President Bola Tinubu said:
“Nigeria’s brave armed forces can win any number of battles, but we do justice to their heroism only when… we display the courage to be tough, not only on terror, but on the causes of terror.”
