Tinubu’s 2026 budget will weaken terrorist networks, criminals

The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has said President Bola Tinubu’s allocation of N5.41 trillion to security in the 2026 Appropriation Bill will decisively weaken criminal and terrorist networks threatening Nigeria’s unity.

Seye Oladejo, the spokesman of the party in the state, said the deliberate and unprecedented commitment once again underscores a government that is clear-eyed about Nigeria’s present realities and firmly focused on securing its future.

In a statement signed by Oladejo, he said Tinubu has accorded security, the foremost responsibility of government, the attention it deserves.

According to Oladejo, “Beyond intent, the objectives of the 2026 Budget are practical and measurable:

“To decisively weaken criminal and terrorist networks that threaten national unity and economic activity.

“To restore investor confidence, knowing that capital flows to stable and secure environments.

“To deepen economic reforms, ensuring that gains in fiscal discipline are not undermined by insecurity.

“To reinforce social stability, allowing citizens to pursue livelihoods without fear.”
