A coalition of civil society organisations and community security, on Tuesday, urged President Bola Tinubu not to use the appointment of a National Security Adviser as compensation for political support given the critical role of the office to national security and stability.
“Apart from the aforementioned military security challenges, there are issues of economic security, involving multi-national agreements, mutual inter-dependence and availability of natural resources, with the freedom to exercise choice of policies to develop a nation’s economy in the manner desired by the exigencies of the market forces.
“We urge and appeal Mr President to shun politics in this vital appointment and consult widely for a logical conclusion by putting a round peg in a round hole in his choice as National Security Adviser,” Isaac said. “The removal of the subsidy on petrol was an issue that could easily have ignited fire amongst the populace, but President Tinubu doused the tension when he promptly intervened by physically having meetings with the stakeholders in the oil industry as well as with the Labour Union, to calm agitating nerves.
