President Bola Tinubu has declared that he would seek a second term in office, insisting that rising insecurity in parts of the country would not force him out of power.
Receiving Plateau State Governor, Barrister Caleb and other stakeholders from the state at the State House in Abuja, the President said that those attempting to use the country’s security challenges against his administration were aiding the agenda of his political opponents and hostile forces.
‘You are playing to the hand of agents, including my own enemies, who want to use insecurity to get rid of me’ Tinubu said.
The President added that he remained resolute despite mounting criticism over security concerns, describing himself as a determined politician.
‘I’m a very stubborn politician. I just refuse to go. And I will campaign for my second term’, he said.
President Tinubu’s remarks come amid renewed concerns over attacks by armed groups, kidnappings and killings in several parts of the country, with opposition figures and civil society groups calling for stronger action from the Federal Government.
The President has repeatedly defended his administration’s efforts, saying security agencies are being supported to tackle threats and restore stability nationwide.
