Tinubu Seeks to Blame Others for Insecurity – Kalu Aja

Financial advisor and educator Kalu Aja has criticized President Bola Tinubu for attributing Nigeria’s escalating insecurity to beneficiaries of the fuel subsidy and foreign exchange regimes.

During the launch of the book The NADECO Story in Lagos on Wednesday, Tinubu, speaking through Olusegun Osoba, claimed that those who profited from the corruption‑laden fuel subsidy and foreign exchange systems were responsible for the country’s growing insecurity.

Responding on X on Thursday, Aja said the President was looking for a scapegoat instead of tackling the underlying causes of insecurity.

Aja questioned the link between insecurity and the fuel subsidy or foreign exchange issues, citing recent attacks in parts of northern Nigeria.

He warned that failing to correctly identify the root causes of insecurity could exacerbate the situation.

Aja wrote: “Mr. President is seeking who to blame.”

“The US just bombed ISIS in the NE (North‑East). Was ISIS importing PMS? The folks invading villages to slaughter citizens in farms and homesteads are they seeking green back or green grass?”

“If one does not know the problem, one can’t fix the problem. Now I am really quite worried.”
