Bola Ahmed Tinubu is currently in Paris for a personal visit, and his motives have come under scrutiny. Femi Falana, a respected Nigerian lawyer and human rights activist, has raised a crucial point - there is no constitutional provision that covers personal visits for a president. While the Constitution does not explicitly prohibit the President from making such visits, it's worth noting that the President may not have the power to make foreign visits for personal reasons. The Constitution's silence on this matter could be viewed as a loophole that the President might have taken advantage of. It's time to ponder over the implications of such visits and whether they align with the President's duties and responsibilities critics say. Meanwhile, while he is away, these events are happening in Nigeria.
1.The Nigerian Senate has taken the initiative to invite all the service chiefs to a discussion next week regarding the country's security situation. The Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, has confirmed that the meeting with the service chiefs will occur after it meets with President Bola Tinubu.
2. In the meantime, the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has urged Nigerians to unite and resist any form of threat from Fulani jihadists. The group has expressed concern over the recent threats made by the Fulani Nationalist Movement, FUNAM, of launching a murderous jihad against Nigerian citizens in different parts of the country. Emma Powerful, the spokesman of IPOB, has encouraged Nigerians to defend themselves against this jihadist.
3. On another note, Atiku Abubakar, a former vice president of Nigeria, has raised concerns over the security situation in the country and criticized President Bola Tinubu's role in the matter. Atiku has urged Tinubu to take action on the issue and not leave the nation vulnerable to insecurity. He has suggested that Tinubu should consider stepping aside if the situation is too complex for him to handle.
4.Furthermore, This Day Live has reported that food insecurity is a significant threat to Nigeria. Peter Obi, a former governor of Anambra State, has noted that agriculture remains a crucial sector in Nigeria's economy and should receive adequate attention. He has emphasized that the country's neglect of agriculture is the cause of hunger and food insecurity, resulting in the high food inflation rate experienced in Nigeria today.
There are still no coherent or coordinated efforts by the service chiefs and the Federal Government to curb the killings, Jihad movement and suffering of the Nigerian people.
