President Bola Tinubu assured Nigerians that the nation will overcome insecurity through faith and action. He spoke during a meeting with Christian leaders in Lagos on December 26, 2025. Tinubu emphasized Nigeria’s religious spirit as a key strength.
Security Reforms in Progress
The president outlined ongoing changes in security systems. He promised state and community policing soon. Lawmakers will finalize the laws needed for this shift. Additionally Nigeria ordered attack helicopters from the United States and seeks more from Turkey.
Call for Vigilance and Cooperation
Tinubu urged citizens to stay alert and work together. He called Nigerians “prayer warriors” who face challenges head on. However he noted delays in equipment due to costs and slow progress. Still, he remained confident in victory over bandits and insurgents.
Persistent Threats Highlighted
Recent events show the ongoing dangers. Bandits attacked Adanla community in Kwara State on December 26, abducting seven people and injuring others. Residents fled in panic after gunfire. This incident followed the release of kidnapped schoolchildren in Niger and Kebbi states.
Path Forward with Unity
Tinubu stressed unity across faiths for peace. He linked this to his Christmas message on religious freedom. Moreover he encouraged religious groups to support government efforts. In conclusion, Nigerians must combine prayers with practical steps to build a safer future.
