Senator Ali Ndume has called on President Bola Tinubu to declare a state of emergency in Nigeria’s security and economic sectors.
According to Ndume, the country is spiraling into a deeper crisis and requires decisive action.
Senator Ndume emphasized that the President’s attention should focus on security, welfare of citizens, and the economy. He stated, “Let the President forget about everything and concentrate on three things – security, welfare of citizens, and economy.”
Ndume also criticized the President’s recent declaration of a state of emergency in Rivers State over political unrest. He suggested that dialogue would have been a better approach, rather than imposing emergency rule.
Ndume’s comments reflect the growing frustration among lawmakers and citizens as Nigeria battles surging inflation, insecurity, and declining public trust in governance. He believes the President’s priorities should be re-evaluated to address these pressing issues.
The senator’s call for a state of emergency in security and economy is echoed by many Nigerians, security experts, and civil society groups. They urge President Tinubu to prioritize internal stability and economic reform over political maneuvering.
