Saturday, December 27, 2025 - Sokoto South Senator, Aminu Tambuwal, has urged the Federal Government to ensure the expansion of the ongoing security operations against terrorists beyond the state.
Tambuwal made the call on Friday when he appeared as a guest
in an interview on Arise Television
The lawmaker stated that security collaboration should be
more expansive and must not concentrate on one location alone.
According to him, areas of concern across the country
deserve equal attention, adding that terrorist activities are not restricted to
one state.
“Areas of concern like Borno, Zamfara, Katsina, Kaduna, and
a host of other parts of the country should be covered by this operation so
that we do not have a situation where a particular part of the country that has
not been as widely reported but is having such major security challenges as
these other states would not be part of the narrative.
“I believe that the Nigerian government should seek greater
collaboration with many more countries, including the US and others that are
willing to support this fight; after all, it is a transnational issue,”
Tambuwal said.
US President Donald Trump announced powerful and deadly
strikes against the terrorists in the Northwest region on Christmas night
The United States Africa Command, AFRICOM, however,
clarified that the air operations were carried out at the request of Nigerian
authorities.
The Nigeria’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs subsequently
confirmed that the country collaborated with the United States on the strikes
targeting ISIS terrorists in Sokoto
