President Bola Tinubu has directed security agencies to confront political thuggery and anti-democratic activities with full force ahead of the 2027 general elections. The directive came in a personal statement from Tinubu.
Tinubu emphasized that his administration will not tolerate conduct that undermines peaceful political campaigns. The order follows heightened security measures in Jos, Plateau State, where Tinubu is set to address an All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential rally.
Security has been increased in Jos ahead of Tinubu’s arrival. The move comes amid reports of unrest in the region. The presidency has also dismissed claims of an attack on Tinubu’s convoy in Abuja, calling the video of stones being thrown at the vehicle misleading.
Tinubu’s aides have urged states to adopt and fund health innovations to reduce maternal and newborn mortality. This aligns with broader efforts to improve public health outcomes in Nigeria.
Political leaders, including APC chieftains, have called for unity in supporting Tinubu’s agenda. A senior aide to Tinubu has stressed the importance of health research in addressing critical issues.
The 2027 elections are a key focus for Tinubu’s administration. His campaign has emphasized stability and development. Security remains a priority as political tensions continue across the country.
