Insecurity: Tinubu Will Use AI To Fight Bandits, Terrorists In 2025 – Jimoh Ibrahim

Ondo South Senator, Jimoh Ibrahim, says President Bola Tinubu is set to deploy Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the fight against insecurity in 2025.

The lawmaker said Tinubu would make life tougher for the criminals in the coming year as the government would use apps to track down bandits, kidnappers, and terrorists.

Senator Ibrahim made the declaration on Wednesday while speaking as a guest on Channels Television’s Politics Today with reference to the ₦49.7tn budget proposal presented to the National Assembly by President Tinubu in which ₦4.91tn was scheduled for security.

“He will use AI to the security personnel to make life uncomfortable for them,” Ibrahim said.

The lawmaker said with such a huge budgetary allocation to security, Nigeria would be more peaceful, the country would be able to produce more crude and, inadvertently, make more money.

“If he is able to do that with ₦5 trillion, it would lead to more revenue as we are able to produce more crude oil. This way you make more money.

“If we spend N5 trillion on security, we would have more peace and produce more oil,” the Senator submitted.

He added that the security situation in the country has already improved under President Tinubu as the towns and cities previously under the control of Boko Haram terrorists have been liberated.

The federal lawmaker submitted that the President is set to do more when the 2025 budget gets operational.

“Give it to President Tinubu, whether you like him or not. The security index has improved. I see a positive security index, meaning that the army and police have done an excellent job.

“No city or local government or state is wearing Boko Haram flag as of today. If you increase your security index, you have the opportunity to produce more,” Ibrahim added.
