Tinubu: Enemies Want to Use Insecurity to Push Me Out, But I Refuse to Go
By Yahaya Idris
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has alleged that some individuals are attempting to exploit Nigeria’s security challenges as a means to force him out of office, declaring that he remains determined to stay in power and pursue a second term.
The President made the remarks during a recent engagement where he addressed concerns over insecurity and the political atmosphere in the country.
According to him, some critics are taking advantage of the situation for selfish political interests.
“You’re playing into the hands of fidgets, including my own enemies, who want to use insecurity to get rid of me,” Tinubu said.
He, however, insisted that he would not bow to pressure or intimidation, describing himself as a resilient and stubborn politician who is committed to seeing through his administration’s agenda.
“I’m a very stubborn politician. I just refuse to go,” the President stated.
Tinubu also used the occasion to signal his intention to seek re-election in the next presidential contest, saying he would work tirelessly to retain the mandate of Nigerians.
“I’ll be campaigning for my second term, I’ll work hard,” he added.
The remarks come amid growing national conversations over security concerns, economic challenges, and political realignments ahead of the next general election.
Tinubu’s statement is expected to generate mixed reactions across the political landscape, with supporters praising his determination while critics may view it as a sign of early campaign posturing.
Since assuming office, President Tinubu has repeatedly pledged to tackle insecurity, revive the economy, and implement reforms aimed at stabilising the country.
However, opposition voices and some civil society groups have continued to demand stronger action in addressing kidnappings, banditry, insurgency, and other security threats affecting different parts of the nation.
