The singer's remarks, which have circulated widely across social media platforms and online news outlets, came amid growing concerns over rising cases of kidnapping, violent attacks and other security threats affecting various parts of the country.
According to Alaseyori, the federal government and security agencies should not be solely blamed for the worsening insecurity, arguing that efforts are being made behind the scenes to address the situation.
She emphasized the importance of prayer as a powerful tool for national healing and stability, urging citizens to support leaders spiritually rather than focusing exclusively on criticism.
“Tinubu is working. Nigerians should continue to pray for him rather than blaming him for insecurity,” she reportedly stated.
The gospel artiste also cautioned against politicising the country's security challenges, noting that constant attacks on government officials could undermine ongoing efforts to restore peace and security in affected communities.
According to her, addressing insecurity requires a collective approach involving both government intervention and national prayers.
However, her comments have generated mixed reactions among Nigerians, particularly on social media, where many users questioned the effectiveness of prayer alone in tackling deep-rooted security problems.
Some critics argued that while prayer can provide hope and encouragement, government accountability, effective security strategies and practical policy measures remain essential in addressing insecurity.
Others defended the singer's position, praising her for promoting unity, faith and optimism during a period marked by heightened public anxiety over kidnappings and violent crime.
The debate comes at a time when the Tinubu administration continues to face increasing pressure from citizens and civil society groups to deliver stronger security outcomes and curb the wave of criminal activities across the country.
As discussions continue, Alaseyori's remarks have once again highlighted the broader national conversation on the balance between faith, leadership and accountability in confronting Nigeria's security challenges.
