President BOLA TINUBU says those who think they can threaten the sovereignty of the country will have themselves to blame.

The President stated this when he met with the pan-Yoruba socio-political group, Afenifere, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

President TINUBU said his administration is tackling the security challenges in the country, including terrorism and banditry, insisting that his government would never pay ransom to abductors.

He said unlike in the years past when insurgents laid claim to parts of the country, terrorism has been significantly reduced.

The President also disclosed the plans by his administration to establish effective forest guards that will be fully in control of the forests in the country.
