In a bold and symbolic move, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, on Thursday made an unannounced visit to Nigerian troops on the frontline of Operation FANSAR YAMMA in Katsina State—without the usual high-ranking military entourage.

The rare visit was aimed at obtaining firsthand assessment of ongoing security operations and boosting the morale of soldiers engaged in combat against terrorism and banditry in the region.

Speaking directly to the troops, President Tinubu praised their patriotism and sacrifice, calling their mission “a battle for the soul of Nigeria.”

“Nigeria depends on you, and I am with you today, tomorrow, and always. Stay strong. Stay focused,” he told the assembled soldiers.

He emphasized his istration’s commitment to troop welfare, pledging prompt payment of allowances, advanced weaponry, improved healthcare, insurance coverage, and family systems.

“Your welfare is my top priority. We are not only equipping you to defend Nigeria—we are determined to ensure your dignity is upheld, your families are ed, and your future is secure,” Tinubu said.

The President commended the resilience of the military in protecting citizens at great personal cost, describing their service as the highest form of patriotism.

His presence at the battlefield—without military pomp—has been widely viewed as a morale-boosting gesture and a demonstration of hands-on leadership in addressing Nigeria’s escalating security concerns.

COMRADES, who those APC'S morons are trying to fool? Because Ganduje and co. didn't appear in the photos, does that mean that the entourages were not there?

Every single day, propaganda. Will they beat you if you just tell the truth that you arrived in a helicopter 🚁 after troops were given week-long notice? You have to claim you arrived with no entourage just to compete with Peter Obi tongue

Sounds nice on paper and to the ears, but let’s not kid ourselves—welfare is the last thing on their minds. For the powers that be, it’s always business as usual.

We’re talking about the military-industrial complex—an empire unto itself. It didn’t just build a nation; it built the nation, the so-called greatest. And right behind it? Big Pharma—another beast, another gold mine. Together, they form the twin engines of profit masked as policy.

I’ve had the rare chance to speak with soldiers who’ve walked the front lines, men and women who've faced the raw truth of war. They’ll tell you plainly: it's all a game played in boardrooms not war rooms by 'career' and office soldiers', all paid for in blood.

That is, if he is honest this time, he should learn to use love and care to gain followers not force. The south has to complete the 8 years of presidency, Obi is the better choice but northern Nigeria play religious games and dont like the result
