In a statement on Thursday, the All Progressives Congress (APC) leader said he was “angered and troubled”.
He decried the terror and cruelty being visited upon the people of Borno, Yobe, Benue, Niger, Imo and other parts of the nation.
Tinubu observed the attacks have caused many to disparage the Nigerian military and security forces.
He regretted that valiant men and women serve in our security forces, risking their lives to protect us, were being targeted.
“We stand with them. Government also must continue to encourage the security forces to do their utmost to subdue this threat. The lives of innocent Nigerians and the future progress of the nation may lie in the balance.”
