President Bola Tinubu has reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to tackling insecurity, pledging improved salaries and welfare for military and police personnel as part of efforts to strengthen national security.
Tinubu gave the assurance on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, during an All Progressives Congress (APC) campaign rally at Dutse Township Stadium, Jigawa State. According to a statement by his spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga, the President said the government was strengthening the armed forces and police to protect lives and property across the country.
Presenting the APC campaign manifesto, titled “From Reforms to Prosperity,” Tinubu outlined his administration’s plans for infrastructure, healthcare, agriculture and security. He also defended the removal of the fuel subsidy, arguing that savings from the policy had supported development projects across the country. He pledged to sustain ongoing programmes and provide small-scale farmers with interest-free loans, mechanisation and irrigation support.
Governor Umar Namadi commended the Federal Government’s interventions in the state, highlighting the Greater Hadejia Water Project, federal education initiatives and social welfare programmes. He said the water project was 60 per cent complete and appealed for federal assistance in addressing ecological challenges in Dutse and Hadejia. Vice-President Kashim Shettima and other APC leaders also urged supporters to back the party ahead of the 2027 general elections.
