Former Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose has declared that President Bola Tinubu is making his utmost effort to tackle Nigeria’s escalating security situation. Speaking during a Channels Television interview, Fayose attributed the current crisis to the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari.
Fayose argued that Tinubu inherited a broken system and is being unfairly targeted through insecurity as the 2027 elections approach. He stated, ‘Tinubu may not be flawless, but he is giving his all. At the close of Buhari’s term, things were far worse. Tinubu essentially rescued the government by stepping in after Buhari.’
The former governor added, ‘As a principled man unwilling to abandon the north, he took on the burden and worked to repair the damage left by the previous administration. Similarly, when Goodluck Jonathan was exiting office, insecurity was used to blackmail him.’
