The Senator representing Edo North, Adams Oshiomhole, on Friday said the rising insecurity in the country was not due to a lack of “political will” from President Bola Tinubu.

He argued that the President had instead provided the necessary resources and leadership to address security challenges across the country.

Oshiomhole made the remarks in Abuja at the public presentation of a book authored by the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) Federal Capital Territory Commandant, Olusola Odumosu.

He dismissed claims that the executive arm of government had failed to prioritise security, pointing to financial commitments and administrative decisions as evidence of political resolve.

“What is the difficult thing in political will? The commander-in-chief give the order: Go and ensure that the country is safe. As President Bola Tinubu has done repeatedly.
