They said the move demonstrates Tinubu’s concern for the security situation in the region.
“We are encouraged by the Minister's assurance to the troops of the President's support in crushing bandits across the country. The President's commitment to providing all necessary resources to the troops is a clear indication of his dedication to ending the security challenges in the region.”
The group urged President Tinubu to do his best to fish out the sponsors of banditry and other forms of insecurity within the region.
According to the group, it will help to address the root causes of the problem and bring lasting peace to the region.

"Firstly, it will boost the morale of the troops, who will feel supported and motivated to intensify their efforts against the bandits. Secondly, it will enable the security agencies to develop a more effective strategy to tackle the security challenges, with the Minister and security chiefs providing guidance and oversight. Finally, it will demonstrate to the bandits and terrorists that the government is committed to ending their reign of terror, and that they will be brought to justice."
