Tinubu’s Sleepless Nights as Insecurity Deepens, Aide Reveals

Abdulillahi Yakassai, Senior Special Assistant on Community Engagement (North-West), says Nigeria’s insecurity crisis is weighing heavily on President Bola Tinubu. He notes the president now holds weekly security council meetings at the Presidential Villa to tackle rising threats. Yakassai acknowledges gains in areas such as the Abuja–Kaduna corridor and Zamfara State. However, he warns that insurgents are adopting new guerrilla tactics in places like Kwara and Niger states, making the fight more complex. He also suggests some actors may be deliberately fueling unrest to undermine the government’s image. Despite these challenges, Yakassai insists the administration remains committed to driving insecurity down until it is eliminated.
