The President gave the assurance on Tuesday in Dutse, Jigawa State, where he promised to address the country’s security challenges through sustained reforms, including improved salaries and welfare packages for members of the armed forces and police.
Speaking at the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign rally held at the Dutse Township Stadium, Tinubu said his administration was strengthening security agencies to ensure the protection of lives and property across the country.
He expressed confidence that Nigeria would overcome insecurity and defeat criminal elements threatening the country’s peace and stability.
“I promise you, we are working hard to ensure that Nigeria is safe and our forces are well taken care of, regardless of where they come from.
“We will conquer insecurity. We’ve been through many wars. We will defeat our enemies. Enemies of unity, enemies of stability, enemies of hope. I assure you that we are doing that.
“We’re strengthening the police; we’re strengthening the armed forces. We are paying better salaries today,” Tinubu said.
At the rally, the President also unveiled the APC campaign manifesto titled From Reforms to Prosperity, which outlines his administration’s achievements and plans in key sectors, including infrastructure, healthcare, agriculture and security.
Tinubu described the document as a roadmap for consolidating economic reforms, expanding opportunities and ensuring shared prosperity.
He pledged that his administration would complete ongoing projects and programmes, insisting that its policies were already producing results across different sectors of the economy.
On the removal of the fuel subsidy, the President accused opposition politicians calling for its restoration of misleading Nigerians.
He questioned how such politicians intended to finance development projects and maintain existing infrastructure if the subsidy was reinstated.
Tinubu maintained that removing what he described as a wasteful petroleum subsidy had created opportunities for the implementation of major projects across the country’s geopolitical zones.
“You have seen what we are doing. Across the country, no region is left behind. Those who think they should bring the subsidy back are liars.
“How will they pay for those commitments? How will you repair the roads? How will you maintain them? How will you function?” the President asked.
Tinubu also promised additional support for small-scale farmers through access to financing, mechanisation and irrigation facilities.
“We will reward small-scale farmers. Interest-free loans for farmers are coming. Prosperity is coming. Food security will happen,” he said.
The President thanked the people of Jigawa State for their continued support and urged them to participate actively in the forthcoming general elections by voting for APC candidates at all levels.
The lawmaker representing Borno South Senatorial District, Ali Ndume, has criticised some youths in Gwoza Local Government Area of Borno State over an alleged incident in which stones were thrown at him.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
In a video circulating on social media, the senator is seen visibly angry as he addresses the youths in Hausa, accusing them of showing disrespect.
Ndume reportedly complained that he was prevented from confronting those allegedly responsible for the incident.
In the footage, the lawmaker condemned what he described as disrespectful conduct, stressing that young people must be taught to respect their elders.
He also expressed surprise over the incident, saying he had never experienced such treatment during his visits to Gwoza.
“We have never witnessed this kind of thing in Gwoza. Does anyone have two fathers? I have only one father in Gwoza. We will not allow ourselves to be humiliated,” he said.
The senator further stressed the importance of discipline and respect for the law, pointing to the existence of legal institutions to address misconduct.
“This is why we have courts, laws and prisons,” he stated.
Expressing his frustration, Ndume added: “Insulting someone is madness. Is this our first time coming here? Is it politics that brought us here? We will not accept this.”
However, people around the senator eventually succeeded in calming him down, after which he continued addressing the gathering in a more relaxed manner.
A spokesperson for the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council, Alwan Hassan, has alleged that former President Muhammadu Buhari did not give President Bola Tinubu full support during the build-up to the 2023 presidential election.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Hassan maintained that Tinubu secured victory through his own political influence and efforts, despite the alleged lack of backing from his predecessor.
The APC chieftain made the remarks on Tuesday during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today.
During the programme, Hassan was asked whether Tinubu would benefit from the political structure and support base associated with Buhari as the APC prepares for another presidential contest.
Responding, Hassan questioned whether Buhari had fully deployed his political influence in support of Tinubu during the 2023 election.
“Did he enjoy that in 2023? Did we enjoy Buhari’s support in 2023? Let the truth be told, we did not,” he said.
When asked whether he believed Tinubu won the election without Buhari’s support, Hassan answered in the affirmative, insisting that the former president did not fully back his successor’s ambition.
“On his own. Buhari didn’t fully come out to support Tinubu,” he stated.
Hassan further accused Buhari of failing to actively campaign for Tinubu during the 2023 presidential election, despite both politicians belonging to the same party.
“Buhari didn’t do well in 2023. He didn’t actually come out to stand for us and stand for Asiwaju in 2023. Asiwaju won that election against all odds,” he added.
