APC Senator Slams Tinubu: Say’s govt that fails to protect citizens can’t remain in power 

*Criticizes Tinubu/Shettima administration for failing to protect citizens

Apparently drawing from the nation’s constitution, an All Progressives Congress (APC) Senator representing Borno North, Senator Mohammed Monguno, has declared that any government that failed to ensure the safety and security of its citizens does not deserve to remain in power.

Senator Mongunu, Senate Chief Whip’s comments come on heels of continuous growing concerned over the deteriorating security situation in Nigeria, particularly in the northeastern region plagued by insurgency and violence.

In a recent press conference, Senator Monguno expressed his discontent with President Bola Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima’s handling of critical security issues. 

“Our people are suffering; they are living in fear, and the government’s inability to protect them is unacceptable,” he stated, emphasizing the urgent need for effective governance and accountability.

The government must prioritize the safety of its citizens above all other things else. If they cannot fulfill this basic responsibility, then they have no right to govern.

The senator’s remarks resonate with many Nigerians who have witnessed a rise in attacks from Boko Haram and other militant groups, leading to loss of lives, displacement of communities, and a general sense of insecurity. 

“The government must prioritize the safety of its citizens above all thing else. If they cannot fulfill this basic responsibility, then they have no right to govern,” Monguno added.

The senator’s statements have ignited a firestorm of reactions, with political analysts suggesting that this could signal a growing rift within the APC as dissatisfaction with the administration mounts.

Critics of the Tinubu/Shettima administration are likely to seize on Monguno’s comments to highlight perceived failures in governance and security.

As the security situation continues to unfold, the pressure is mounting on the Tinubu administration to take decisive action to address the concerns raised by Senator Monguno and other stakeholders.

The upcoming months will be crucial for the administration as it seeks to regain the trust of its citizens and ensure their safety.

With calls for accountability growing louder, the political landscape in Nigeria may face significant shifts as leaders grapple with the challenges of governance amid pressing security threats.

Recalled that Borno APC critical stakeholders meeting held on Monday 14th April 2025, restated its loyalty and commitment to president Tinubu administration and that of VP Kashim Shettima, declaiming their undoubted APC support’ for their second term ambition.
