Security Debate: DWI Defends NSA Ribadu, Counters General Williams

The Democracy Watch Initiative (DWI) has dismissed retired General Ishola Williams’ call for a sweeping security overhaul as misguided. In a statement, DWI’s Director of Strategic Communication, Tunji Bamidele, argued that Williams lacks a clear grasp of Nigeria’s current security architecture. Bamidele highlighted National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu’s proven track record. He noted Ribadu’s success at the EFCC, his strong legal education, and his tenure-focused efforts to reduce kidnappings by 80% and rescue over 11,000 hostages. DWI praised Ribadu’s intelligence-driven strategies, technological innovations, and inter-agency collaborations. The initiative urged critics to ground their comments in facts and to support ongoing reforms rather than undermine them.
