OPA Rallies Behind NSA Ribadu, Blasts Ishola Williams’ Call for Removal as Baseless

The Odua People’s Assembly (OPA) has come to the defense of National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu, condemning retired General Ishola Williams’ recent demand for his dismissal as “irresponsible” and “counterproductive.” In an official statement, OPA Chairman Richard Olatunji Kayode accused Williams of relying on emotion rather than evidence, warning that such rhetoric fuels a culture of permanent pessimism and erodes public trust in security institutions. Kayode highlighted Ribadu’s proven track record—citing his anti-corruption achievements with the EFCC, his coordination of efforts against banditry and terrorism under President Tinubu, and initiatives like the National Forest Guard programme. He urged Nigerians, especially public figures, to engage in constructive dialogue on national security rather than resorting to unfounded criticism that undermines morale and unity.
