The cleric insisted that the president cannot be blamed for failing to personally confront terrorists on the battlefield.

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has defended President Bola Tinubu against growing criticism over the worsening insecurity across Nigeria.

The cleric insisted that the president cannot be blamed for failing to personally confront terrorists on the battlefield.

Speaking at the U.S.-Nigeria Faith Heroes Award Gala organised by the Save Nigeria Group in Washington, D.C., on June 23, Adeboye argued that Tinubu had discharged his constitutional responsibility by issuing directives to the nation's security agencies.

Addressing concerns over the escalating wave of terrorism, kidnappings, and violent attacks across the country, Adeboye said critics expecting the president to physically lead military operations were being unrealistic.
