Melaye Critiques Tinubu for Ignoring Insecurity in Speech
Former federal lawmaker Senator Dino Melaye criticized President Bola Tinubu for his Independence Day speech, claiming that the President failed to adequately address the critical issue of insecurity. Melaye, a member of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), noted that Tinubu mentioned insecurity only once during his nationwide broadcast.
He highlighted the alarming situation where more than 1,000 Nigerians are currently held captive by terrorists in various forests across the country. Melaye further pointed out that farmers are unable to access their farmlands due to the pervasive insecurity, arguing that this pressing issue should have received more attention in the President's address.
He expressed his disappointment, stating, “It is a pity. It is a shame,” regarding the lack of emphasis on the ongoing violence and abductions affecting innocent Nigerians.
