In comments that have since circulated widely across Nigerian media and social platforms, Alaseyori argued that the federal government and security agencies should not be singled out for condemnation over kidnappings and violent attacks, suggesting that efforts are ongoing behind the scenes to address the crisis.

She maintained that prayer remains a critical national tool, especially in moments of uncertainty and violence, and called on Nigerians to support leadership with spiritual backing rather than sustained criticism.

“Tinubu is working, Nigerians should continue to pray for him rather than blaming him for insecurity,” she was quoted as saying in remarks that have triggered mixed reactions online.

The singer also emphasised that insecurity should not be politicised, warning that constant public attacks on leaders could distract from efforts to stabilise affected regions. According to her, Nigeria’s security challenges require collective responsibility involving both government action and national intercession.

However, the comments have sparked a wave of reactions, particularly on social media, where many Nigerians pushed back against the suggestion that prayer alone could address systemic security failures. Critics argued that while faith may play a role in national morale, accountability and practical governance remain central to tackling insecurity.

Supporters of her view, however, praised her for encouraging unity and national optimism at a time of heightened fear over kidnappings and violent crime in several parts of the country.

The remarks come amid ongoing national concern over insecurity incidents across multiple regions, keeping pressure on the Tinubu administration to demonstrate stronger and more visible security outcomes.
