Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu promised on Tuesday in Dutse, in Jigawa State, to "defeat insecurity", at a rally before supporters of his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), at Dutse Township Stadium, according to P.M. News. He said his administration was strengthening the police and the armed forces, with better pay. "We will defeat insecurity. We have been through many wars," he said.
Tinubu presented the APC campaign manifesto, titled "From Reforms to Prosperity". The document details the record and plans of his administration on infrastructure, health, agriculture and security. The president promised to complete ongoing programmes.
He also defended the removal of the fuel subsidy and called those who promise to restore it "liars". He asked them how they would fund roads and their maintenance. In his view, the removal has made projects possible in all the country’s geopolitical zones.
The rally follows Tinubu’s statement the previous day ruling out the return of fuel subsidies, and the accusation made the same day against Atiku and Obi, rivals for 2027. The trip to Jigawa had been announced on 9 November.
