National Security: Shehu Sani, Lamido Clash Over Ribadu’s Performance

A debate has erupted among notable northern personalities on national security, as Senator Shehu Sani, who represented Kaduna Central in the 8th National Assembly, challenged former Jigawa State governor, Sule Lamido, to acknowledge the current administration’s efforts in combating insecurity, rather than politicising the issue following comments about the National Security Adviser.

Sani’s remarks came in response to Lamido’s criticism of the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, who had highlighted the government’s achievements in addressing security challenges across the nation. Ribadu, emboldened by his claims of progress, warned everyone “not to dare Tinubu,” a statement that provoked a strong reaction from Lamido, a prominent member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Lamido took to X (formerly Twitter) to label Ribadu as “loquacious, flippant and better suited as Tinubu’s minister of information than as NSA.”

Lamido reminded Ribadu of his past interactions with President Tinubu.

He stated, “Past National Security Advisers like late Umar Shinkafi, Gen. Abdullahi Mohammed and others were known for their maturity, discipline and professionalism. In contrast, the current NSA seems burdened by a moral issue.”

He recalled Ribadu’s history as an outspoken EFCC chairman and accused him of using intimidation against political figures, suggesting that his acceptance of Tinubu’s offer had compromised his integrity.

In response, Shehu Sani defended the current administration, asserting that it deserved commendation for addressing complex security issues inherited from previous governments. He expressed disbelief that Lamido failed to recognise the government’s successes in regions plagued by banditry.

Sani, who witnessed the legislative budget allocations for security during his time in the National Assembly, noted that Nuhu Ribadu had achieved significant progress where many predecessors had faltered despite substantial financial investments in defence. He emphasised that the neutralisation of key bandit leaders, the end of mass student abductions and improved security along previously dangerous railways and highways were testaments to this progress.

He added, “While security challenges persist, Ribadu’s performance thus far has set unprecedented records. His political critics are entitled to their opinions, but his effectiveness in fulfilling his mandate remains unmatched.”
