Tinubu Links Insecurity to Grassroots Governance Collapse

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu addressed the issue of insecurity in Nigeria, attributing it to the collapse of governance at the grassroots level. He stated that the effectiveness of democratic governance diminishes when citizens do not experience its benefits directly.

Tinubu highlighted the importance of pursuing financial autonomy for Nigeria's 774 local government councils as part of efforts to deepen democracy and ensure tangible benefits for citizens. He identified weak local government administration as a significant obstacle to national development and a fundamental challenge to the country's advancement.

According to Tinubu, the failure of governance at the grassroots level contributes to the nation's security challenges. He called on Nigerians to work together towards national progress, urging citizens to reject negativity and embrace a shared vision for the country.

Tinubu's administration aims to renew hope and ensure that governance reflects the historical journey of Nigeria.
