Defence Minister Christopher Musa has rated the Tinubu administration between 65 and 70 per cent on security performance, saying terrorism has reduced significantly despite persistent kidnapping challenges.
Defence Minister Christopher Musa has rated the President Bola Tinubu administration between 65 and 70 per cent on security performance, insisting that terrorism across the country has been drastically reduced. Musa spoke on ARISE News on Friday while assessing the administration’s performance after three years in office. His remarks come amid continued concerns over insecurity, including recurring school abductions and kidnapping incidents in several parts of the country.
“I’ll give ourselves 65 to 70,” he said when asked to assess the government’s performance on security. “Yes. 65 to 70%. No nation is totally free from crime and criminality. I’m sure you are aware that the level of terrorism across the country has actually drastically reduced. Now we have acts of terrorism, and terrorism, like I said, is a social vice, a failure of family values,” he added.
The Defence Minister also described kidnapping as more of a societal challenge than a direct failure of security operations, blaming the development on the collapse of family values. “We have fathers kidnapping children, children kidnapping each other, brothers kidnapping sisters. It tells you that something is wrong with the family, and we need to look inward to see how we can develop those aspects,” he said.
