Nigerian Leaders Urged to Act on Insecurity as Religious Figures Criticize Government

Former PDP deputy chairman Bode George told Pastor Enoch Adeboye of the Redeemed Christian Church of God that a 90‑day ultimatum to stop insecurity should be addressed to President Bola Tinubu, not the service chiefs, emphasizing that the president holds ultimate responsibility for protecting citizens.

Pastor Samuel Oladele, president of the Christian Association of Nigeria, condemned the government for failing to deliver on electoral promises of safety, power and healthcare. He called for an immediate state of emergency on security, announced a three‑day period of fasting and mourning, and urged authorities to secure the release of abducted pupils and teachers amid rising kidnappings, killings and jihadist attacks.
