Calls for Resignation of Tinubu-Linked Minister Over Divided Loyalty Amid Insecurity

Deng Josef Onoh, a former spokesman for Bola Tinubu, has urged the Minister of State for Defence, a former Zamfara governor, to resign over concerns of divided loyalty amid Nigeria's security crises. The minister, who served during the Abacha era and faced disqualification in the 2019 governorship election, is under pressure to step down for restructuring the country's security architecture.

Onoh highlighted the country's security vulnerabilities, including terrorism, banditry, and kidnappings, calling for competent leadership. The situation reflects growing political tensions within the ruling party ahead of the 2023 elections.
