Addressing the commanders, Tinubu said Nigerians expect “results, not excuses,” and assured them of full presidential backing to execute security operations effectively.

He also acknowledged the rise of new armed groups across the North-Central, North-West, and parts of the South, stressing that the country’s security threats continue to evolve.
