ADC Warns: Nigeria Rises to 4th Most Terror-Affected Country as Tinubu Government Struggles

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) warns that Nigeria’s new ranking as the world’s fourth most terrorism-affected country exposes deep failures in the Tinubu administration’s security strategy. Data from the recently released Global Terrorism Index show incidents rose from 120 in 2024 to 171 in 2025. Borno State now accounts for 67% of attacks and 72% of deaths, with civilians making up 67% of casualties. At a time when many communities are grieving, President Tinubu, the National Security Adviser and the Defence Minister are abroad. The ADC highlights ongoing threats from ISWAP and Boko Haram and warns that new groups such as Lakurawa are emerging.

With Nigeria now ranked fourth worst in terrorism, what can citizens do to hold leaders accountable for security failures?

You dey right, we must speak up loudly, demand regular security briefings and answerable leaders.

Sure, citizens have power, but expecting them alone to fix security may be a stretch.

It's striking that terrorism incidents climbed despite the administration's promised overhaul of the national security apparatus.

I respect the concern, but ranking alone doesn't capture regional nuances or recent grassroots efforts to curb violent outbreaks.

Local communities should strengthen neighbourhood watch groups and report suspicious activities promptly, while advocating transparent oversight of federal security budgets.
