Tinubu Won’t Keep Quiet And Allow Crises In States Escalate – Presidency

Ajuri Ngelale, the presidential spokesman, has stated that President Bola Tinubu will persist in intervening in states grappling with political crises if such actions are deemed essential for the overall well-being of the country.

President Tinubu has previously intervened in political crises in Ondo and Rivers State, sparking criticisms suggesting that his actions undermine the autonomy of the affected states. However, Ajuri contends that Tinubu’s involvement is a step in the right direction.

“That has nothing to do with, of course, political development, destabilization of a particular region or state or subnational entity that could potentially turn into a national conflagration,” he said on Channels Television’s News Night, a pre-recorded show that airs on Mondays.

“If the President sees that, he is not going to sit by as the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces and fold his hands and keep quiet. I think that is what he has done.”

Ajuri says Nigerians expect Tinubu’s government to offer responsible leadership to the country.

“That is to say if you are the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces and your primary objective is to make sure that the Nigerian people are safe; that they are able to operate in an environment that is stable and does not place them in any form of insecurity, then you know that if a political crisis is devolving into something that is generating manmade insecurity, then the president needs to step in and he took that wise decision to step in,” the presidential aide maintained.

Ajuri also addressed various national issues, including the consequences of removing the fuel subsidy and the increasing cost of living.

Acknowledging that the current administration inherited numerous economic challenges, Ajuri affirmed that President Tinubu is implementing measures to address these issues.

“You combine all of these factors, obviously, our debt burden is another factor, you would know there is no easy fix; there is no magic wand solution to this. There is going to be pain before pleasure,”  he said.

“There is going to be sacrifice before there is an ultimate outcome that all of us cannot only be proud of but can thrive in.”
