Ribadu Sidelined as Tinubu Appoints New Security Adviser

Paul Ibe, who serves as a media aide to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, stated that Nuhu Ribadu has been "quietly sidelined" in the current administration of President Bola Tinubu. This remark came in response to the recent appointment of Maj Gen Adeyinka Fadewa (Rtd) as Tinubu's special adviser on homeland security.

Ibe's comments suggest a conflict between Ribadu and Tinubu, particularly following Ribadu's recent trip to the United States, where he met with U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris.

The implications of this sidelining could affect the dynamics within Tinubu's government, especially concerning national security matters.
