A professor of political science, Jibrin Ibrahim, says President Bola Tinubu who criticised former President Goodluck Jonathan over the abduction of Chibok girls has done even worse than Jonathan in terms of insecurity.
Evaluating the security of the country in 2025, Ibrahim, who is also the Chairman, Editorial Board of Premium Times, stated that just like the preceding years, 2025 was very difficult for Nigeria.
He attributed the difficulty of 2025 to the unwillingness of the Nigerian state to carry out its constitutional responsibilities of providing for the security and welfare of Nigerians.
According to him, many felt the tide of insecurity would turn when former president Muhammadu Buhari came on board, but the late president proved totally incapable of solving the problem.
“People like the current president, Bola Tinubu, who had before criticized Jonathan’s administration for school, abductions, rising insecurity, today find themselves at the helm of the state, performing worse than Jonathan did at his time.
“So it’s a very sad tale. The narrative is extremely disturbing,” he said.
