Tinubu: 'Even Trump can't do it alone' on security challenges

Nigeria's President Bola Tinubu emphasized that no individual can handle security challenges alone during his speech at the African CEO Forum in Rwanda on Thursday. In response to a question about managing security partnerships with America and France, Tinubu referenced US President Donald Trump's diplomatic engagement with China regarding Taiwan. 'Security challenges will always be there. Those are things you cannot do alone,' Tinubu stated. 'Even Trump, as bold as he is, is in China talking about Taiwan. So, who am I in Nigeria to say I will do it alone?' The president stressed the need to embrace neighbors and pursue pragmatic collaboration partnerships to enhance security of Nigerian lives and property. This statement reflects Nigeria's evolving approach to regional security challenges in an increasingly interconnected global landscape.
