Akpabio Claims Opposition Exploiting Insecurity Against Tinubu

On Tuesday, Senate President Godswill Akpabio stated that opposition politicians are using the challenges of insecurity to discredit the administration of President Bola Tinubu. Speaking at the commissioning of a major carriageway in the Federal Capital Territory, Akpabio claimed that the opposition is shifting focus from the government's performance in key sectors like the economy to insecurity issues.

He cited reforms in the petroleum sector and ongoing infrastructure projects as achievements of the Tinubu administration. Akpabio alleged that individuals are encouraging acts that create instability and fear among citizens, as they are unable to critique the government's performance.

He did not provide specific evidence or identify particular political groups involved in these actions. Akpabio called on Nigerians to remain vigilant and cooperate with security agencies to combat criminal activities, commending the efforts of the armed forces and security personnel in addressing insecurity in the country.
