Retired Brigadier General Bashir Adewinbi, a prominent member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State, has claimed that the recent surge in insecurity across Nigeria is being deliberately fueled by opposition forces aiming to discredit President Bola Tinubu. Adewinbi, who formerly led the Osun Amotekun Corps and is known for his security expertise, made this statement while receiving APC National Women Leader Mary Alile at his residence in Ede on Saturday.
According to him, the worsening security issues are not random but politically motivated. He believes that opposition parties have allied to frustrate the current administration and portray the President as incapable. He stressed that these actions are part of a broader plan to destabilize governance and remove President Tinubu from office.
Despite the growing threats, Adewinbi expressed confidence in the President’s response. He revealed that Tinubu is holding regular meetings with security and service chiefs to address the situation. He also mentioned plans to introduce advanced technology in security operations, including drones and surveillance systems, to more effectively detect and track criminal activities.
On the visit by the APC National Women Leader, Adewinbi described it as a private, family-oriented engagement. In her address to party supporters, Alile emphasized her commitment to promoting women’s involvement in governance. She also advocated for a female deputy governor candidate in Osun State for the 2026 election and assured supporters that their demands would be communicated to the party leadership in Abuja.
