A former senator from Kaduna State, Shehu Sani, who is now a political and social affairs commentator, has said that the National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu has done far better than his predecessors.
President Bola Tinubu appointed Nuhu Ribadu at a time the country was grappling with lots of security challenges in almost all parts of the federation. Kidnapping, banditry, terrorism and secession were some of the threats to the national security.
In the view of the former lawmaker, Ribadu has done very well by neutralizing the top bandit leaders and out an end to the mass abduction of students in the northern region.
Students have been abducted in the current administration, but it was more widespread in the last two administrations of Muhammadu Buhari and Goodluck Jonathan.
In an X post, Sani said, “Nuhu Ribadu has achieved what many of his predecessors have failed to accomplish despite the hundreds of billions spent in the name of defence and security in the past; Neutralisation of top bandit leaders,end to mass abductions of students in northern schools, Securing Rail lines and major northern highways hitherto notorious for kidnappings.”
The analyst also commended Ribadu, an ex presidential hopeful, for the promptness in responding to terror attacks across the country.
“The prompt response to terrorist attacks on power lines is worth mentioning. Security challenges are not over but in all indices of comparison, he has performed better and set unprecedented records. His political critics are fully entitled to their views, but his delivery on his mandate is unparalleled.”
