Kwara Attack Highlights Leadership Failure, Says Ladipo Johnson

Ladipo Johnson, a former senior aide to former Lagos State Governor Akinwunmi Ambode, wrote an op‑ed titled “Kwara Attack Highlights Leadership Failure.” He argues that the deadly ambush on a convoy of Niger Delta militants in Kwara State—where several militants and civilians were killed—exposes the federal and state governments’ inability to provide security, coordinate intelligence and address the underlying grievances of armed groups. Johnson calls the incident a symptom of broader leadership neglect, urging stronger governance, transparent security policies and dialogue with insurgent factions to prevent further violence.
