President Bola Tinubu has assured Nigerians that his administration will not surrender to terrorists, bandits or any form of criminal intimidation despite ongoing security challenges across the country.
The president’s message was delivered on Sunday by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume, during the National Inter-Denominational Church Service at the National Christian Centre in Abuja as part of the 2026 Democracy Day celebrations marking 27 years of uninterrupted democratic rule since 1999.
Akume said the government is fully aware of the economic hardship, insecurity, kidnappings and displacement affecting citizens, adding that it remains committed to addressing the crisis with compassion and responsibility.
He quoted the president as saying, “Government is sensitive to all these pains, shares in these pains and has heard your cries.”
Tinubu also reaffirmed commitment to honouring pro-democracy activists and strengthening national security efforts against criminal groups.
