Tinubu Media Force slams PDP, reaffirms president's commitment to national security

The Tinubu Media Force (TMF) has dismissed recent allegations by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) accusing President Bola Ahmed Tinubu of indifference toward Nigeria’s security challenges, describing the claims as baseless and a distortion of facts.
In a statement titled “Telling the Truth About Tinubu’s Security Initiatives”, issued Monday evening by its national coordinator, Gbenga Abiola, the group said the President has demonstrated unprecedented urgency and commitment in addressing the nation’s security concerns.
The statement outlined several measures taken under the Tinubu administration, including constitutional reforms aimed at overhauling Nigeria’s national security architecture and the rollout of an integrated security strategy. President Tinubu, it added, has consistently engaged security chiefs in detailed briefings, mandating them to pursue holistic and effective strategies for peace and stability.
Specifically referencing the recent killings in Benue State, the group said the President has responded decisively by deploying special forces to restore order and instructing security agencies to arrest and prosecute perpetrators on all sides of the conflict.
It added that the president also directed Governor Hyacinth Alia to convene peace meetings among warring factions and personally suspended all his engagements to console the bereaved families.
The Tinubu Media Force noted that Governor Alia has publicly commended the President’s swift and proactive response to the Benue crisis, underscoring the administration’s commitment to tackling insecurity head-on.
Describing the PDP’s accusations as “media rascality,” the group accused the opposition party of playing politics with human lives and attempting to discredit genuine efforts at restoring peace nationwide.
“These initiatives demonstrate President Tinubu’s unwavering commitment to national security,” the statement concluded.
“We urge Nigerians to ignore the PDP’s propaganda and recognize the ongoing efforts to secure the country. The truth will prevail, and President Tinubu’s legacy as a champion of national security will stand the test of time.”
