Senator Babafemi Ojudu, former Special Adviser on Political Matters to the President, stated on Channels Television that Nigeria's escalating insecurity necessitates urgent and innovative solutions, asserting that elected leaders cannot use inherited problems as an excuse for inaction. He emphasized that individuals seeking public office are aware of the nation's challenges and must present practical solutions. Ojudu highlighted the widespread insecurity in the North-East, North-West, and parts of the North-Central regions, noting that while these issues predate the current administration, current leaders are accountable for addressing them. He expressed deep concern over the impact on vulnerable children and the nation's apparent desensitization to such crises. Ojudu advocated for community engagement and intelligence gathering alongside military operations, drawing a parallel to successful dialogue with Niger Delta leaders during the Buhari administration, which revealed grievances related to development and economic opportunities. He warned that the ongoing insecurity severely disrupts social and economic life, impacting the present and future of national development and stability.
