President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has reiterated his administration’s commitment to defeating terrorism in Nigeria, stating that the country will not be intimidated or derailed despite rising international concerns.
The President made the remarks in a statement posted on his verified X account on Friday, days after former United States President Donald Trump threatened potential military action over alleged attacks on Christians in Nigeria.
“We face challenges head-on and remain steadfast in our commitment to engage partners and champion Nigeria’s interests on the diplomatic front,” Tinubu wrote.
He stated that Nigeria will continue to assert itself on the global stage with “calm, clarity, and a strong sense of purpose.
Speaking directly to the nation’s enduring security crisis, Tinubu maintained that terrorism remains a long-standing challenge but assured citizens that the government is determined to overcome it.
“We are indeed faced with terrorism — a challenge Nigeria has faced for almost two decades, and we will not back down. We will decisively defeat terrorism and claim victory in this battle. Security is non-negotiable, and we will never compromise on this principle. With unwavering courage and a steadfast commitment to the rule of law, we will prevail.,” he said.
The President stressed that national security is non-negotiable and vowed that no effort will be spared in eliminating threats to peace. He called on Nigeria’s international partners to continue supporting the country, noting that collaboration is critical to sustaining progress already made.
“We urge our allies to stand firmly with us as we amplify our fight against terrorism. We have made significant progress in the past two years and we will decisively eliminate this threat,” he added.
Tinubu also expressed deep appreciation to members of the armed forces and intelligence community, acknowledging their sacrifices in defending national unity. “Your commitment is our strength in the fight against terror,” he wrote.
