An APC group has accused the National Security Adviser (NSA) Nuhu Ribadu of using his office to pursue personal vendetta, saying the new administration is yet to constitute a security agenda.

Continuing, he further noted that the Director General NIA, Ahmed Rufai Abubakar also hails from Katsina North West Nigeria, Minister of Defence, Mohammed Badaru Abubakar, Jigawa, North West Nigeria and the Minister of State for Defence, Bello Muhammad Mattawale, who hails from Zamfara North West Nigeria.
Listing Ribadu’s perceived offences, the group said, “Putting in place his political structure ahead of 2027 poll amidst insecurity in the country.
“Turned to a journalist as well as a photo-journalist in the presidential villa most especially, when the president has visitors.
“Hosting and posting of pictures with political groups and Kannywood stars in his office”.
The group expressed concern that Nigerian military is increasingly becoming demoralised, saying the bandits are now emboldened.
It called on the NSA and heads of defence, security and intelligence agencies to be more proactive to secure every swathes of the Nigerian territory.
