Tinubu’s body language shows he’s not interested in Nigerians security – Northern Elders

The Northern Elders Forum (NEF) has said that President Bola Tinubu’s words, deeds and body language shows that he is not interested in the security of the citizens.

Professor Usman Yusuf, a top member of NEF said this during an interview on Arise Television on Tuesday, December 5.

He also noted that

He said, “Our president and commander in chief, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, from his words, deeds, and body language, is not interested in security. All he’s interested in is the economy, where the money is, and he’s planted his people. Security, banditry, and others appear irritant to him.

“We don’t see the president hands-on with our security. Our military is not supervised by civilian authority; they’ve gone rogue, dropping bombs on our people, and they’re not answerable to anybody. In the United States, where we copied the presidential system, the military is subordinate to civilian authority.”

In his submission, Yusuf raised concerns over the role of the minister of defence, with claims that the president has outsourced the security of the country to the military.

He said this following the bombing incident that took place in Kaduna state.

His words: “Whatever the president is planning to do, the military cannot investigate itself. We’ve had several incidences, and there have been no outcomes.

“There should be an independent judicial panel headed by a retired CJN, a former defence chief, traditional leaders, and religious leaders who are interested in protecting the people,” he said.
