If Terrorism Can’t End In 90 days, Sack Security Chiefs – Pastor Adeboye To Tinubu

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has called on the Federal Government to set clear performance targets for security agencies in the fight against terrorism and insecurity across the country.

In a video shared on his social media platforms on Tuesday, the respected cleric expressed concern over the persistent security challenges facing Nigeria and urged authorities to adopt more decisive measures to tackle the threat.

Adeboye suggested that security chiefs should be given a 90-day deadline to significantly curb terrorist activities, arguing that leadership must be accountable for results in the ongoing battle against violent groups.

“If I were asked to make suggestions, I would say quietly to our government, ‘Move fast and tell our security chiefs, get rid of these terrorists within 90 days or resign,’” he stated.

The cleric also urged the government to focus not only on those carrying out attacks but also on individuals and networks allegedly providing financial and logistical support to terrorist groups.

“When giving orders to the service chiefs this time around, we should make it clear to them that they are not only to eliminate the terrorists; they should eliminate their sponsors, no matter how influential they may be,” he said.

Adeboye recalled offering similar advice to a previous administration, noting that while directives were issued at the time, enforcement was not sustained after the deadline elapsed.

According to him, lasting progress in the fight against insecurity requires strong political commitment, effective implementation of policies and consistent accountability.

His remarks come amid renewed public concern over terrorist attacks, banditry and kidnappings in several parts of the country, with many Nigerians calling for stronger action to improve security and protect lives.

The respected religious leader’s comments have added to the growing national conversation on how best to address Nigeria’s security challenges and restore public confidence in the country’s safety architecture.
