President Tinubu Vows Nigeria Will Not Surrender to Terror, Commends Troops in Katsina
Tinubu Reaffirms Commitment to Military Welfare and National Security
In a powerful address to frontline soldiers in Katsina, President Bola Tinubu declared Nigeria’s unwavering stance against terrorism and insurgency. The President emphasized the nation’s determination to resist forces of terror, fear, and disloyalty that have plagued the country for over a decade.
A Salute to Nigeria’s Brave Defenders
Speaking directly to deployed troops on Friday, Tinubu praised their valor and critical role in safeguarding Nigeria’s sovereignty. “I stand before you not just as your President and Commander-in-Chief, but as a fellow patriot,” he stated. “Your courage, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment are deeply humbling.”
The President framed the ongoing conflict as more than a territorial battle, calling it “a fight for the very soul of Nigeria.” He told soldiers: “Every inch of ground you secure, every terrorist you neutralize, is a victory for justice, freedom, and the future of this country.”
Enhanced Military Support and Welfare
Acknowledging the challenges faced by security forces, Tinubu outlined comprehensive support measures:
- Superior equipment and intelligence capabilities
- Improved logistics and operational support
- Enhanced welfare packages for soldiers and families
- Housing programs and insurance coverage
- Better pay and healthcare provisions
“We are committed to your welfare—your families, your allowances, healthcare, and dignity,” the President assured the troops.
A Message to Enemies of the State
Tinubu issued a stern warning to those threatening Nigeria’s stability: “Let the enemies of Nigeria know their time is up. We will not bow—not to fear, not to terror, not to treachery.” He specifically called out both domestic collaborators and foreign agents seeking to destabilize the nation.
The President concluded with a rallying cry to the military: “Stand tall, be proud. Nigeria depends on you, and I am with you every step of the way.”
