Edo State Governor Monday Okpebholo asserts ongoing northern kidnappings and killings aim to destabilize Nigeria and undermine President Bola Tinubu, drawing parallels to former President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration.
Other political figures, including Senator Sunday Karimi and Shehu Sani, also suggest these attacks are calculated to distract the president. Tinubu has declared a national security emergency and ordered military recruitment.
