Tinubu’s enemies sponsoring insecurity to discredit Nigeria’s democracy — Akpabio

Senate President Godswill Akpabio has accused unnamed "enemies of progress" of orchestrating insecurity across Nigeria. He claims these individuals are deliberately sponsoring violence and instability to undermine President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's administration and cast a negative light on the country's democracy.

"I must say that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is grappling with a lot of enemies of progress, of what you left behind," Akpabio stated. He directly linked the current wave of insecurity to a deliberate campaign by those who oppose the president's agenda and the nation's democratic journey.

Akpabio's remarks suggest a political motivation behind the security challenges facing Nigeria. He implied that the perpetrators are actively seeking to tarnish the image of the country's democratic system by exacerbating security issues. The Senate President's comments frame the insecurity not merely as a law-and-order problem, but as a politically motivated plot against the government and the democratic process itself.

I must say that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is grappling with a lot of enemies of progress, of what you left behind. Today, many are sponsoring insecurity in our country, to paint our democracy in a bad colour.
