Lagos lawmaker Temitope Adewale said on Friday that President Bola Tinubu is irrevocably committed to the security of Nigeria and will deal ruthlessly with terrorists and their sponsors.

Mr Adewale, representing Ifako-Ijaiye Constituency I in the Lagos State House of Assembly, said in a statement reacting to recent invasion threats by U.S. President Donald Trump, who also designated Nigeria as a “Country of Particular Concern.”

The lawmaker said Mr Tinubu remains fully committed to protecting Nigerians and strengthening the nation’s security architecture.

“President Bola Tinubu, as a father, is not happy that bandits and terrorists are trying to downplay the gains of his administration, just as they did with previous governments.

“This is one reason the president ordered the newly appointed service chiefs to put a final end to insecurity. The current administration will never pamper terrorists or their sponsors,” he said.

Mr Adewale said the president had demonstrated strong leadership by overhauling the armed forces to ensure greater efficiency, discipline, and coordination in tackling the country’s security challenges.

He noted that Mr Tinubu’s decisive actions showed that Nigeria would not compromise with those threatening its unity and peace.

According to him, the president’s determination is already inspiring confidence among citizens and international partners who value Nigeria’s stability in Africa.

Mr Adewale urged global powers, especially the United States, to support Nigeria’s progress rather than issue threats or negative classifications.

“What Nigeria deserves now is international collaboration and support, not undue criticism,” he said.

He appealed to Nigerians to remain patient and committed to the Renewed Hope Agenda, assuring that the results of current reforms would soon meet citizens’ expectations.

“We must continue to encourage the new service chiefs to justify the President’s confidence in them and deliver lasting peace across the country.

“With unity, discipline, and commitment, Nigeria will overcome insecurity and build a stronger, more prosperous nation under President Tinubu’s leadership,” he added.

Mr Adewale also praised Mr Tinubu’s administration for its bold economic reforms, which he said were transforming the economy and restoring investor confidence.

“In the last two years, various countries and global organisations have acknowledged Nigeria’s growing economic success.

“The administration continues to open more pathways for growth, attract multi-billion-dollar investments, and revive moribund industries, proving that the government is on the right track,” he added.
