President Bola Tinubu has blamed his predecessor, former President Muhammadu Buhari over the intractable security situation in the country, adding that he inherited a damaged security system.
“My administration took over the leadership of our country 16 months ago at a critical juncture. The economy faced many headwinds, and our physical security was highly impaired,” Mr Tinubu said.
Mr Tinubu said this during his Independence Day speech on Wednesday.
According to President Tinubu, he took over the leadership of Nigeria at a “critical juncture.”
Also, he said Nigeria was imbalanced when he took over the baton of leadership on May 29, 2023 but his administration decided to embrace reforms in both Nigeria’s economy and its security.
“We found ourselves at a dizzying crossroads, where we must choose between two paths: reform for progress and prosperity or carry on business-as-usual and collapse. We decided to reform our political economy and defence architecture.”
