Bode George, a prominent figure in the People’s Democratic Party, has sounded the alarm on the escalating insecurity in Nigeria, describing the situation as being “completely in a shambolic situation, in perpetual despair and despondency.” In a recent appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today, George expressed grave concerns about the deepening insecurity, stating that it has spiraled beyond control.
George emphasized the urgent need for President Bola Tinubu to address the pressing issues, acknowledging the enormity of the task at hand. He stressed that Nigerians are prepared to grant Tinubu the necessary time to tackle the multifaceted challenges facing the nation. Reflecting on the widespread hunger and anger prevalent in the country, George underscored the gravity of the insecurity crisis, urging a united effort to prioritize the nation’s welfare over political agendas.
In his New Year speech, Tinubu outlined eight key objectives for the year, with a focus on national defense, internal security, and job creation. George, while acknowledging the formidable nature of these goals, highlighted the dissatisfaction with the performance of Tinubu’s predecessor, emphasizing the need for a marked improvement in addressing the nation’s security concerns.
The veteran statesman’s message to Tinubu was one of hope, as he concluded by expressing confidence in the President’s ability to navigate the challenges ahead, invoking divine guidance for Tinubu in his endeavors.
As Nigeria grapples with the far-reaching impacts of insecurity, the impassioned plea from Bode George serves as a poignant reminder of the pressing need for decisive action and unified resolve in addressing the nation’s tumultuous security landscape.
