The National Security Adviser, NSA, Nuhu Ribadu, has suggested that President Bola Tinubu and his istration inherited an extremely bad government, particularly insecurity.

Ribadu stated this on Tuesday when he visited Benue State to commiserate with the government and the people over the killing of over 72 people by terrorists masquerading as herdsmen.

The NSA, who condemned the killings, urged the people of Benue to give Tinubu government a chance and stop politicizing the killings.

According to him, this will help the federal government to restore peace in the state.

“Our Armed Forces are doing well. It is impossible to post soldiers or police to every hamlet. Give us a chance and stop politicizing the killings. This will help us to restore peace. Issue of security is relative,” Ribadu said.

“We inherited an extremely bad government and things have improved and we will address all these issues cropping up.

“It is a matter of time, to do the harm is easy but to solve it is difficult. We have reduced considerably the number of violence we met. This one too, we will confront it,” he added.

In his response, Benue State Governor, Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Alia said it was a sober moment for the state as it has come under intense siege with loss of lives of unimaginable figure since 2011.

DAILY POST reports that there has been a surge in attacks and killings in Benue and Plateau States in the last two weeks.

Just barely a week after suspected armed herders massacred over 50 farmers in parts of Benue State, fresh violence erupted in the early hours of Tuesday.

Wow! Tinubu inherited an extremely bad government from an incompetent man he publicly boasted, on national television, that he helped become president.

That's surprising! I didn't see that coming.

In essence, Nigerians voted for a man (tinubu) that gave them 8 years of hell and chaos because according to tinubu, he "made buhari become president"

You all should expect nothing but hell and chaos.

Ribadu, the Tinubu wey you go beg for donald trump

I like that Ribadu said this. It shows they are aware of the issues and they are working on it.

Tinubu government will get there. Just give them time.

How much time?

8 years perhaps.

Nairaland is against freedom of expression in a bid to curb tribalism.

If a particular ethnic group is causing havoc, is it not proper to call out that particular ethnic group?

Why should I be banned because a certain group that starts with F and ends with I is marked as the culprit of all the killings and land grabbing of fellow Nigerians?

My comment was made under a governor's response against the call of self-defence, but this governor didn't make any comment when his people were killing fellow Nigerians, or make any attempt to stop these killings.

Nigerians must rise against the insecurity and deception of fellow Nigerians who want to cause chaos or succeed them in their natural habitat.

APC is against APC.A house divided against itself can't stand.

and he can't solve it abi. From fry pan to fire

Yet another direct attack by this istration on Buhari’s istration.

Tinubu promised Buhari to continue from where he stopped. There’s nothing to be surprised if he performs just as bad as Buhari. He only proved to be 10X ineffective as his predecessor.

Tell us you are incompetent without telling us you are incompetent

And make it extremely worse I agree with u sha...it not good for this government to talk against the past istration, rather because your party still produce buharia ,basically u are indirectly telling us that APC as a party gave Nigerians an incompetent man as their flag bearer... buharia complained against GEJ ,and we listened to him because GEJ is in PDP..so they should stop complaining after tinubu promised us he's equal to the task of governance.....toh I will continue from where buharia stopped--tinubu

Shove that into your ass

Forget, this Ribadu is talking rubbish. He inherited nothing. The day you decide to run for political office you run to solve some problems. You did not become president to be giving excuses. Insecurity problem is so easy to resolve but they are playing games with it. What is going on today are sponsored and can be stopped. There is an agenda going on which is to cause problem regarding farming. They want food shortages and the government are playing blind to it. The people causing this things are known, where they are is not a secret. Federal government went after ESN and flush them out of their hide out. If this problem is cause by the Igbos that is when you will know that federal government are working. They won't give excuse as long as it's from the East but when it's from the North then you will begin to hear stories.

Continue attacking Buhari....

Your implosion will be like nuclear bomb

Blame game everytime

As if it wasn't Tinubu that installed the govt, even though he knew the man is a disaster

Who brought the extremely bad government??
Who voted the same
Is it not the south west and north
The 2 regions responsible for Nigerian collapse since independence
Without tinubu leading his fellow tribes men to vote buhari. Apc won't have destroyed this country.
Now you want to separate tinubu from buhari
Yoruba and fulani cannot distance themselves from the burial of this country

How to know a Government is a Failure?

They always blame predecessor.

From the same APC, oh no, from BUHARI , the self acclaimed MESSIAH ?

In Fela's voice, Argument, Argument, Argument.

Ribadu na Wereydinho

Inherited it from who 🤨 ?

10 years counting yet no ideas on what to do and this clowns are busy play blaming games as usual.

Lol, they pull out this good ol’ line again.

Ribadu and T-Pain want to sell us a dummy of forgetfulness but we are not buying.

From who?

Time you say. What happened to eight years of Buhari?

We all know the last government was extremely bad but you have been in government for 2 years now, what have you done differently?

Blame! Blame!! Blame!!!
Obasanjo didn't blame miliary government for his failures, Yaradua of blessed memory didn't blame Obasanjo when he came to power instead he tried to fix things by saying the election that brought him to power is not free and fair, coming up with his 7 points agenda, canceling the Dangote refinary deal just to mention few, Jonathan didn't blame Yaradua.
This blame game in FG started from Buhari and ever since it's been this person or this government is the reason for this and that happening.
Yes, I know that Mr president has his "renewed hope agenda" but why the blame game?
This government and the previous government (Buhari's istration) are of the same political party and I never expected them to come up with this blame games like Buhari's istration.
Fix the damn thing and stop complaining!!!

Useless Jokers, Truth is President Tinubu is not fit for the job

This statement is enough to sack him as NSA.

With all govt machineries at his disposal, he' still come up with excuses.

Inheriting bad government does not mean you should made it worse
