President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has restated his administration’s commitment to overcome insecurity through improved welfare for the armed forces and police personnel.
The President while addressing party faithful at Dutse Township Stadium, Jigawa state on Tuesday, said his administration was determined to strengthen the security agencies 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 affirmed .
President Tinubu also used the occasion to present the All Progressives Congress campaign manifesto, “From Reforms to Prosperity,” outlining his administration’s achievements and plans in infrastructure, healthcare, agriculture and security.
He promised to complete ongoing programmes and projects, adding that the administration’s policies were already yielding results across several sectors.
Governor Umar Namadi commended President Tinubu for establishing NELFUND, from which thousands of Jigawa students have benefited, as well as the Conditional Cash Transfer that brought succour to several indigent families in the State.
The governor also requested President Tinubu’s intervention in the ecological challenges in Dutse and Hadejia, which he said require federal government attention, as they “have become insurmountable for the state government.”
The Director General of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, Senator Abdulaziz Yari, reiterated President Bola Tinubu’s commitment to quality leadership, national economic consolidation, and advancing prosperity for Nigerians.
He challenged the opposition to advance better socio-economic policies than those championed by the Tinubu administration, rather than clamouring for divisive politics.
Dignitaries at the rally included Deputy Senate President Barau Jibrin; Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Tajudeen Abbas; APC governors; ministers; and other political leaders from across the country.
