Ribadu sidelined after US visit, Fadewa appointed as Tinubu's security adviser
Nuhu Ribadu, Nigeria's National Security Adviser, appears sidelined with new appointment of Maj.-Gen. Adeyinka Fadewa (rtd.) as Special Adviser on Homeland Security. Atiku Abubakar's media aide alleges Ribadu's recent US meeting with VP JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio triggered the shift. The appointment raises questions about potential restructuring of national security architecture under Tinubu. With no official explanation from the presidency, the development signals possible strategic shifts in Nigeria's security approach and foreign relations. How might this affect Nigeria's diplomatic relationship with the US and internal security coordination?
