President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has urged Nigeria’s international partners to stand firmly with the country as his administration intensifies its campaign against terrorism and other violent crimes threatening peace and development.
The President made this appeal in a post on his verified X handle, @officialABAT, on Friday, reiterating his government’s determination to eradicate terrorism and restore safety and dignity to Nigerians.
“We will spare no effort and leave no stone unturned in our mission to eliminate criminals from our society. We urge our allies to stand firmly with us as we amplify our fight against terrorism. We have made significant progress in the past two years, and we will decisively eliminate this threat,” Tinubu stated.
He reaffirmed that his administration remains resolute in defeating terrorism, restoring order, and safeguarding national unity, noting that security remains a core pillar of the Renewed Hope Agenda.
“We are indeed faced with terrorism, a challenge Nigeria has faced for almost two decades, and we will not back down. We will decisively defeat terrorism and claim victory in this battle. Security is non-negotiable, and we will never compromise on this principle. With unwavering courage and a steadfast commitment to the rule of law, we will prevail,” he declared.
Tinubu also emphasised Nigeria’s readiness to continue working with the global community to strengthen both security and economic development, describing the country as a dependable and consistent partner in the quest for peace and stability.
“Nigeria will be, and remain, a reliable partner and dependable ally to its friends, and a steady voice for stability. We welcome the collaboration and support of our allies, friends, and partners as we strengthen both security and economic growth,” he said.
According to him, his administration’s diplomatic efforts are guided by confidence, purpose, and clarity, with Nigeria asserting its role as a responsible actor on the international stage while tackling domestic and cross-border security challenges.
“We face challenges head-on and remain steadfast in our commitment to engage partners and champion Nigeria’s interests on the diplomatic front. We are confidently asserting our presence on the global stage, guided by unwavering calm, clarity, and a strong sense of purpose,” he noted.
Tinubu further expressed faith in Nigeria’s unity and resilience, calling on citizens to remain hopeful and committed to building a safer, stronger, and more prosperous nation.
“Nigeria is one united family. We rise together, move forward together, and reject despair in favour of determination. Our future is far more robust and stronger than any fears we may have,” he wrote.
The President also paid tribute to members of the armed forces and security agencies who have sacrificed their lives in defence of the country, praising their bravery and dedication.
“To the brave men and women of our armed forces and intelligence community united by purpose, regardless of tribe or religion, who serve fearlessly, fight side-by-side and sometimes pay the ultimate price, we express our deepest gratitude. Your commitment is our strength in the fight against terror,” Tinubu stated.
He concluded with a message of hope, assuring Nigerians that his administration’s ongoing reforms will continue to yield results and drive national progress.
“The task ahead is immense, yet our resolve is even greater. We will continue to sustain and build on our reform gains and deliver a prosperous and inclusive Nigeria. With courage and the rule of law, we will triumph,” he affirmed.
