Agbese Rejects Calls for Tinubu's Resignation Over Security

Rep Philip Agbese, the deputy spokesperson for the 10th House of Representatives, criticized recent calls for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's resignation due to ongoing security challenges in Nigeria. He described these demands as politically motivated and unhelpful in addressing the nation's insecurity.

Representing the Ado/Okpokwu/Ogbadibo Federal Constituency in Benue State, Agbese argued that tackling insecurity requires a collective national response and stronger collaboration among security agencies. He condemned the opposition's rhetoric, particularly from Labour Party members, including Hon Fred Agbedi, who urged Tinubu to resolve security and economic issues or resign.

Agbese asserted that the current security situation necessitates support for the military and intelligence agencies rather than inflammatory partisan attacks. He expressed confidence in Tinubu's commitment to addressing security challenges and called for unity and cooperation among political leaders to safeguard Nigeria's sovereignty and territorial integrity.
