The President made this declaration during the National Inter-Denominational Church Service held at the National Christian Centre, Abuja, on Sunday, June 7, as part of the 2026 Democracy Day celebration.
In a message delivered by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Senator George Akume, Tinubu emphasized that the government of Nigeria will never succumb to terror, banditry, or any form of criminal intimidation. He also assured citizens of ongoing efforts to alleviate the economic burden on the country.
“The government of Nigeria shall never succumb to terror, banditry or any form of criminal intimidation,” President Tinubu declared.
Acknowledging the hardships faced by many households, Akume stated that the government is fully aware of the economic strain, insecurity, kidnappings, and displacement affecting several communities across the nation. “Government is sensitive to all these pains, shares in these pains and has heard your cries,” he said.
Akume congratulated Nigerians on 27 uninterrupted years of democratic rule since 1999, describing the milestone as a testament to the resilience, commitment, and sacrifices of citizens who fought for the restoration of democracy.
