We No Longer Have Mondays Or Sundays – Remi Tinubu Reveals Pressure On Presidency

The First Lady of Nigeria, Oluremi Tinubu, has lamented that her husband, President Bola Tinubu, no longer has off days, as he is working overtime to tackle the insecurity situation in the country.

Naija News reports that Mrs Tinubu spoke in Ado Ekiti on Saturday, during her engagement with Ekiti State traditional rulers, as part of her one-day working visit to the state.

She assured Nigerians of her husband’s commitment to making the country safe for all citizens, saying Nigeria will soon overcome its security challenges.

Tinubu, who described the cases of kidnappings, banditry and killings in parts of the country as disheartening, said a lot of efforts were ongoing to further secure the country and stamp out criminality, but these efforts could not be divulged publicly.

Her comment was in response to the call for a review of the kidnapping law and the fast-tracking of the process to create state police.

She said, “President Tinubu has entered into partnership with developed countries like the United States of America and others, and is taking internal security measures to smash those terrorising the country and stoking the fire of killings and kidnappings across the geopolitical zones.”

She thanked the traditional rulers for their support for the President and Ekiti State Governor, Biodun Oyebanji.

She described their support as a veritable impetus driving the two leaders to give their best in terms of commitment to good governance.

“It is disheartening that we have this insecurity. A lot of foreign countries are helping our country. The US and some other developed countries are helping us in this matter.

“Some of those terrorising us are non-Nigerians. No matter what happens, we shall overcome. Nigeria is too great to be intimidated.

“Let us bear in mind that we have a great country. Challenges will come, but collectively, we can tackle them. I can assure you, we don’t have Mondays or Sundays; the President is working round the clock to get this matter resolved.

“God has been faithful. Let us be prayerful about our nation. It is prayers that have taken us this far,” she said.
