A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun state, Hon. Olatunbosun Oyintiloye, has commended President Bola Tinubu and the military for the success recorded against insurgency in Nigeria. 

Oyintiloye, a former lawmaker in the state, in a statement made available to our correspondent in Osogbo, Sunday, urged the military to intensify efforts in the fight against insurgency and ensure they decimate the terrorists.

He noted that the achievements recorded in the last few weeks showed that the military has taken the bull by the horn to quench the insurgency,  adding that “the handling of Bello Turji, the terrorist challenging Nigeria to a fight, has revealed that the military has the capacity to deal with terrorists.”

He applauded Tinubu’s recent remarks that his administration had been targeting the financial backbone of terrorists groups in the country.  He said it was quite instructive and a bold step towards clearing the country of violent crimes.

Oyintiloye said the president’s speech at the opening of the 2025 National Anti-Money Laundering, Counter-Financing of Terrorism and Proliferation (AML/CFT/CPF) Summit in Abuja that more than 100 terrorist financiers had been convicted in the last two years was a commendable feat in the fight against terrorism.

He urged the president not to relent in his pursuit against terrorism and its financiers, adding that most of the troubled parts of the country have started witnessing relative peace.
