APC Assures Nigerians Of Decisive Step Taken To Curb Rising Insecurity

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has assured Nigerians that the nation will overcome its security challenges, insisting that those behind acts of sabotage will ultimately fail.

The party gave the assurance in a statement issued by its Lagos spokesman, Mr Seye Oladejo, on Friday.

Oladejo urged citizens to remain calm and united despite the tension generated by recent attacks in parts of the country.

Oladejo said the APC was confident that “Nigeria will prevail” because President Bola Tinubu had taken decisive and unprecedented steps to strengthen national security.

“This too shall pass. Nigeria has survived recessions, insurgencies and political treachery. We are certain the nation will once again emerge stronger.”

The spokesman said President Tinubu was not responding with empty rhetoric,but with concrete actions aimed at restoring stability and dismantling hostile networks troubling the nation.

According to him, the president’s declaration of a state of emergency on security and his approval for the recruitment of an additional 20,000 police personnel—bringing total planned intake to 50,000—demonstrate the administration’s seriousness.

“These are not cosmetic gestures. These are far-reaching actions by a president who refuses to surrender one inch of the country to terrorists or their sponsors,” Oladejo said.

He alleged that the opposition was “amplifying fear” and spinning recent incidents as evidence of government failure, even as security forces continued to record operational breakthroughs.

“Rescue missions are ongoing, hostile networks are being dismantled, and communities are cooperating with security agencies like never before,” he added.
