A Chieftain of the All Progressive Congress,(APC) in Bayelsa State, Udengs Eradiri has urged President Bola Tinubu to name and shame sponsors of terrorism in the country.
In a statement on Thursday, Eradiri applauded steps taken so far by the president to tackle insecurity, hailing Tinubu for appointing the immediate past Chief of Defence Staff, Gen. Christopher Musa as the minister of defence.
The former governorship candidate of the Labor Party also applauded the National Assembly for swiftly screening and confirming Musa, saying it signalled a new determined era to confront banditry and terrorism.
Eradiri further commended the way and manner Tinubu turned emerging aggression from the USA into collaborative diplomacy.
He said Tinubu intelligently converted the American aggression into a collaborative effort to find permanent solution to insecurity in the country
Eradiri appealed to the president to evolve a system that would purge all the moles and saboteurs out of all public institutions especially the security architecture.
He added: “The problem is actually the moles in government, the APC, the National Assembly, civil service, the army and the national security architecture. That is where the fight must start.
“The president must begin to look inward to identify, name and shame all the moles. The DSS recently purged itself of some persons. The president must look into the Ministry of Communication to stop the compromise of military signals.

“Some persons are passing vital information to terrorists. The battle is about purging all the internal worms in the system. We must cleanse our system. Let us name and shame all the people in the wanted list”.
Eradiri observed that most of the governors for the first time in the country were presenting trillions as their budgets for the 2026 fiscal year, saying such liquidity in states was made possible by the economic reforms of Tinubu.
He said: “We are only appealing to these governors to judiciously utilize these humongous resources and revenue accruing to them because of the economic intelligence displayed by the Tinubu administration.
“This revenue must reflect in the standard of living of citizens in the various states. It is obvious that Tinubu has been generating a lot of money for the governors.
“The governors must reciprocate by evolving people-oriented programmes and projects that will reduce the cost of living and increase the standard of living in their various states”.
