'Why I will not tolerate your failure' - Tinubu to military generals

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu President Bola Ahmed Tinubu

President Bola Tinubu has explained that his administration will not tolerate failure from the military chiefs in the country's fight against several security threats.

According to Daily Trust, Tinubu made this known while speaking with the security chiefs and heads of intelligence agencies at a presidential security briefing held on Friday, January 5, at the state house in Abuja.

The president noted that though good progress has been made in eliminating some security challenges in many operational theatres, success can only be defined by the total ending of the multi-dimensional security challenges.

He said the failure of the military to wrap up progressives' onslaught against the insecurity in the country would undermine the $1 trillion economy targeted by his administration in a few years.

Tinubu then warned against the avoidable bombing of civilians as recently experienced in Kaduna while praising the current synergy within different security agencies.

The president charged the security agencies to sustain the momentum against insecurity in the country, adding that “Failure is not an option under my leadership.”

President Tinubu, in his address, maintained that the armed forces must ensure that their objective is to help the country achieve a sustainable production of two million barrels of crude oil daily. This also included condensates within the first quarter of 2024.
