Leader of the Social Democratic Party SDP and its presidential candidate in the 2023 general election, Prince Adewole Adebayo, has criticised President Bola Tinubu's handling of national security, saying a recent tweet from former US President Donald Trump appeared to have prompted renewed federal attention to the country's security challenges.
Adebayo said many Nigerians were living under severe economic pressure and rising insecurity.
"First, the whole country has been heated up by economic policies that are making people desperate. In terms of security, the government has not been paying sufficient attention to Nigerians who have been paying ransom everywhere, from 'one chance' kidnappers and others.
