The Unity Advocacy Group has said President Bola Tinubu’s position on the security situation in the country in his nationwide broadcast has passed a vote of confidence in the Armed Forces of Nigeria.

The Convener of the group, Ifeanyi Aigbedion, said this in a statement on Tuesday in Abuja, adding that the President was right to say that the nation’s security challenge had improved since his assumption of office.

Mr Aigbedion said that the statement couldn’t be far from the truth, adding that his sincerity on the security challenge was similar to that of the Chief of Defence Staff, Gen. Christopher Musa, who spoke with the journalists on the issue.

He said, “The President has shown sincerity by acknowledging that there is still work to be done. It shows that the President and the leadership of the Armed Forces of Nigeria under Musa is sincerely committed to restoration of peace and stability.

“By saying that security has improved since his assumption of office, Tinubu has passed a vote of confidence in the Armed Forces of Nigeria. We therefore appeal to Nigerians to work with the military to restore peace in areas facing security challenges,” he said.
