President Bola Tinubu yesterday said those threatening the country’s sovereignty “would pay a heavy price”. Receiving Pa Reuben Fasoranti and other Afenifere leaders at the State House, his government is working on re-engineering the economy and seeking to boost the purchasing power of citizens. He said Nigeria must secure itself economically first before it can achieve any of its more sophisticated objectives.
The President said:
“We have degraded terrorism to a level that they cannot threaten the sovereignty of Nigeria any longer. ‘’Banditry and kidnapping will be defeated. And there is no payment of ransom whatsoever. “We are taking the battle to them. We are getting results more rapidly than before. We are working hard on intelligence gathering.
“Those who think they can threaten the sovereignty of Nigeria will have themselves to blame. They have a price to pay. And we are not going to relent.” Tinubu pledged his commitment to the pursuit of comprehensive economic security for the country while addressing foundational challenges and creating a fair and equitable system in which all Nigerians can thrive. He said: ‘’We are committed to the economic survival of our country. “
