Insecurity: Trump govt now aware Tinubu not committed - US firm

A United States-based firm has accused President Bola Tinubu's administration in Nigeria of lacking commitment to addressing security issues. The firm, Von Batten-Montague-York, made the claim in a post on X, stating that the US administration and Congress have taken note of Nigeria's security challenges. The firm criticized the Nigerian government's use of modified tricycles as combat vehicles for the military, in contrast to plans to acquire luxury vehicles for political activities.

Allegations of military funds being diverted for personal gain were also raised, with reports from the US Congress and State Department supporting these claims. The firm argued that while Tinubu's administration spends millions on luxury vehicles for the All Progressives Congress, the military is equipped with poorly modified vehicles, leading to concerns about Nigeria's commitment to tackling insecurity.
