Under President Tinubu And Ribadu As NSA, Nigeria Can Deradicalize Niger Within 24 Hours – Agbomhere

An expert in security management, Dr. Blessing Agbomhere has expressed shock and disappoinment at the reaction of some Nigerians to the planned restoration of civil rule in Niger Republic through the instrumentality of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) currently under the leadership of President Bola Tinubu.

Agbomhere who is a certified expert on security management and strategic operations from the International Institute of Professional Security, says Nigeria, under the command of President Bola Tinubu (Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces) and Nuhu Ribadu as National Security Adviser, has the capacity to deradicalize Niger Republic within 24 hours and restore President Mohamed Bazoum back in office.

In a statement signed in Abuja, Agbomhere said the fears expressed by some Nigerians on the perceived lack of preparedness of the armed forces to deal a decisive blow on the military junta in the shortest possible time is a reflection of the lack of patriotism pervasive in the land and a carry over from the previous administration which struggled initially to contain rampaging insurgents and bandits that ravaged some parts of the country.

He said the pervasive sentiment is not a true reflection of the state of the armed forces of Nigeria ably led by the commander in Chief, President Tinubu who he believes has all the information and strategy required to carry out a quick and successful mission in Niger without necessarily prolonging the process and causing unwarranted casualties to the nation’s troops.

However, Agbomhere, member of the Nigerian Institute of Chartered Arbitrators and an advocate of Rule of Law said dialogue remained the best approach to resolving the political logjam in Niger but as a last resort, insisted that Nigeria should not shy away from it’s responsibility of maintaining democratic rule in the West African sub region through military action, a role it had played over the years in Liberia, Sao Tome, Sierra Leone and Cote D’Ivoire and will continue to play in defence of democracy and stability in the region.

President Bola Tinubu is prepared to make Nigeria great again, and all we must do is to encourage and support him to reposition Nigeria to take her place of pride as the Giant of Africa.

Tinubu, PDP Hail Gov Okpebholo’s Road Infrastructural Revolution in Edo

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has lauded the infrastructural strides of Edo State Governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo, particularly the ongoing construction of the state’s first-ever flyover bridge, describing it as a landmark intervention in easing urban traffic and modernizing Edo’s transport system.

The President extolled the governor’s foresight in embarking on the one-kilometre flyover project at Ikpoba Hill in Ikpoba Okha Local Government Area, noting that its completion would transform vehicular movement and strengthen the urban fabric of Benin City.

Tinubu praised Okpebholo’s early performance in office, affirming that the governor had set a new standard of governance in Edo.

The president represented by the Minister of Works, Engr. Dave Umahi, emphasized that the governor’s bold approach to road and bridge construction in the State underscores the All Progressives Congress’ (APC) progressive agenda.

“This is a 24-span structure, each span measuring 20 meters, amounting to a one-kilometre bridge. The quality and pace of work are impressive. Edo is witnessing a first, and I believe more such projects should follow in Benin City to address the heavy traffic,” Umahi conveyed on behalf of the President.

The Minister contrasted the efficiency of state-driven projects with some federal contracts, lamenting that contractors often display greater discipline when working under governors than when handling federal assignments.

He pledged to enforce stricter accountability standards at the federal level to ensure value for money and timely delivery.

“I commend Governor Okpebholo for insisting on concrete technology. Roads built with reinforced concrete last 50 to 100 years, saving scarce resources. Nigeria cannot continue to spend on recurring reconstruction. We must invest in durability,” Umahi stressed.
