President Bola Tinubu on Sunday promised to take strong action to protect Nigerians despite the security challenges facing the country.
Tinubu stated that his government has made efforts to strengthen Nigeria’s security system to ensure the safety of citizens.
He spoke at the Bola Ahmed Tinubu International Conference Centre in Abuja while delivering his acceptance speech as the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Tinubu said, “I also recognize the security problems that are still affecting some areas of our cherished country.
“I promise you that I take my duty to protect the lives and property of every Nigerian very seriously.
“Our government has stepped up its efforts to strengthen our security system, support our courageous military and police, and build better relationships with local communities.
“We have invested in intelligence, surveillance, and new equipment, and we are addressing the root causes of insecurity.”
Tinubu said his government is prepared for the National Assembly to amend the Constitution to allow the creation of state police as a matter of national emergency.
He also stated, “We will not stop until we restore peace and stability to every part of our country.
“We are determined, and our goal is clear: a Nigeria where every person can live, work, and dream without fear.”
