Tinubu vows to defeat insecurity, promises better pay for security personnel

President Bola Tinubu has reaffirmed his administration’s determination to tackle insecurity, promising improved salaries and welfare for personnel of the armed forces and police.

Tinubu gave the assurance on Tuesday at the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign rally at Dutse Township Stadium, Jigawa State, where he addressed party supporters.

The President said his administration was strengthening the security agencies to enhance their capacity to protect lives and property across the country.

“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,” he said.

At the rally, Tinubu also presented the APC manifesto for the 2027 presidential election, titled From Reforms to Prosperity, outlining the party’s plans for infrastructure, healthcare, agriculture, security and economic development.

He said the document provided a roadmap for consolidating ongoing reforms, expanding economic opportunities and ensuring shared prosperity.
