<p>President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Monday publicly commended the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, describing his performance in tackling Nigeria’s security challenges as commendable.</p>
<p>Speaking during an official visit to Adamawa State, Ribadu’s home state, the President expressed confidence in the NSA’s leadership and commitment to restoring peace across the country.</p>
<p>“The National Security Adviser, the son of the soil, Nuhu Ribadu, I must say clearly here that you are doing an excellent job, and we are seeing the results,” Tinubu said.</p><div class="uwfGjQph" style="clear:both;float:left;width:100%;margin:0 0 20px 0;"><script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

<p>Reaffirming his administration’s resolve to combat insecurity, the President added: “With you, we will defeat the bandits and terrorists. You are a good National Security Adviser — honest, courageous, and committed to the job.”</p>

<p>Tinubu’s remarks come against the backdrop of a public disagreement between Ribadu and former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai.</p>
<p>El-Rufai recently alleged that the NSA was behind moves to have him arrested through security operatives and further accused Ribadu of involvement in the importation of dangerous chemicals into the country.</p>
<p>Ribadu has denied the allegations, describing them as baseless and politically motivated. He challenged the former governor to substantiate his claims before the State Security Service and insisted that due process should be followed.</p>
<p>The President’s public endorsement of Ribadu is widely interpreted as a vote of confidence in his security architecture at a time when Nigeria continues to grapple with banditry, terrorism, kidnapping and other violent crimes, particularly in parts of the North-West and North-East.</p>
<p>By reaffirming his trust in the NSA, Tinubu signaled continuity in his administration’s security strategy and underscored his determination to confront criminal elements destabilising the country.</p>
<p>Political observers say the development could further heighten tensions surrounding the dispute, even as the presidency maintains that its primary focus remains the fight against insecurity nationwide.</p>
