Tinubu is the architect of empty promises, Tinubu superintended and supervised daily killings of Nigerians without abatement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBrigadier General Musa Uba was killed like a chicken and nothing happened since September 2025, five months after the killing of Musa, Brigadier General Husseini Ibrahima was killed and Tinubu is so comfortable.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe constitution that Tinubu swore to is very clear, that the primary occupation of government shall be the security and welfare of the people.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday there is no welfare not to talk of security. Tinubu has woefully failed in this respect. My advice to Tinubu is to resign, he is wearing an oversized shoe, so Mr Tinubu resign.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Melaye maintained that the military under the Tinubu\u2019s administration has lost the monopoly to protect Nigerians.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTwo brigade Commanders were killed within five months in Nigeria and the military under the APC have lost the monopoly of the legitimate use of force.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDisaster is the harvest and you will reap when you have an incompetent leadership like that of Tinubu. The military that can\u2019t protect its general can not protect you and I.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He lamented that Nigeria despite being the giant of Africa has been reduced to begging countries like Turkey and the United States, US, for security assistance, a situation he described as a shame.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy beloved Nigeria is now a begger of security, begging America, begging Turkey for security and it\u2019s a big shame.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCountry that fought in Angola, fought in Sumaila, Sudan, Liberia, and in other Western countries, Today is begging for security.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe as a country now are outsourcing the protection of the country and our people. Giant of Africa, are we really an independent nation?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKidnapping is now a national industry in this country, school children are not safe, people in their houses are not safe, people in their place of worship are not safe, and people in their farms are not safe.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThose supporting APC should know that kidnappers, bandits, Boko Haram will not ask you for your party membership card before striking.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll I say to Tinubu is this, you can\u2019t govern the people you don\u2019t love or care about. You don\u2019t love us Mr Tinubu, we will vote you out, after all, Lagos is not Nigeria,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Nigeria<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
