Why Constructive Criticism Is Crucial for Nigeria’s Security and Governance

Shehu Umar argues that true support for government does not mean silence on its failures. He says constructive criticism is vital to democratic governance and should not be seen as disloyalty. He points to the insecurity in Zamfara under former President Buhari. While acknowledging government efforts, Umar insisted stronger action was needed. He credits public pressure for prompting a presidential visit and military operations that ended weekly killings. Umar stresses that citizens must hold leaders accountable regardless of party. He notes that open debate on security, economic stability and public services strengthens leadership. With political activities heating up ahead of 2027, he warns that accountability and national security will remain at the forefront of public discussion.
