Baba Ahmed says Tinubu is disconnected from Nigerians’ hardship

Hakeem Baba Ahmed, former Special Adviser on political matters to Vice President Kashim Shettima, says President Bola Tinubu is disconnected from the hardship many Nigerians are facing.​ Speaking on The Morning Show, he faulted Tinubu’s recent remarks suggesting that those who do not see progress under his administration are biased or unable to recognise development. The president had joked that critics who cannot see hope in his policies may need “jigi bola” eyeglasses.​ Baba Ahmed said such comments raise serious questions about how aware the government is of current economic and security realities. He argued that no leader living in Nigeria and seeing the level of poverty and lack of accountability should expect citizens to applaud their performance.​ The national chairman of the Peoples Redemption Party insisted that the administration’s reforms have not translated into better living conditions. According to […]

Troops kill terrorists, stop kidnappings in fresh raids

Nigerian troops have stepped up operations across several theatres, killing terrorists, foiling kidnap attempts and rescuing victims in different parts of the country. According to military authorities, the coordinated raids targeted armed groups involved in terrorism, banditry and kidnapping. In the North East, troops under Operation Hadin Kai engaged Boko Haram and ISWAP fighters in a series of clashes, neutralising several terrorists and destroying their hideouts. Soldiers also rescued civilians who had been targeted for abduction during these operations. Along the Buratai–Kamuya axis, troops escorting civilians came under attack but quickly received reinforcement from a quick reaction force. The combined team repelled the terrorists, forcing them to abandon an attempted mass kidnapping involving more than 150 men, women and children. In other regions, including the North West and North Central, troops conducted clearance operations against bandits and other criminal gangs. […]
