Tinubu said this during the decoration of the service chiefs at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.

“I charge you, as the heads of our nation’s armed forces, to carry out your duties with patriotic zeal. Nigerians expect results, not excuses,” he told them at the event attended by top government dignitaries and others.

The president hailed the Armed Forces for their efforts in the country’s fight against insecurity which he believes has led to the restoration of “peace to many areas previously under siege, rescued countless kidnapped citizens, and significantly diminished the capacity of the terror groups”.

“I thank our armed forces for their patriotism, diligence, and dedication to their duty. As your Commander-in-Chief, I sincerely appreciate your sacrifices, as I have repeatedly acknowledged,” he said.

But the former Lagos State governor wants more from the military especially with the constantly evolving security threats across the country.

“Of grave concern to our administration is the recent emergence of new armed groups in the North-Central, North-West, and parts of the South. We must not allow these new threats to fester,” the president said.

“We must be decisive and proactive. Let us smash the new snakes right in the head.”
