The Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa, has assured Nigerians that the President of Nigeria Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu will overhaul the Nigeria’s security architecture, despite the persistent insecurity affecting many parts of the country.

Obasa who spoke at the APC Stakeholders and Progressive Governors’ Forum, PGF, meeting held at Eko Hotel and Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos was convinced that the President, backed by the All Progressives Congress-led administration, is committed to protecting the lives and property of Nigerians.

According to him, “We have seen the President in action and how he is innovating and working hard to resolve our many challenges, especially insecurity. We believe he will get it done. He is still the man that can do it. That is why we must do everything within our powers to ensure that he is returned in 2027”.

He commended the governors for their collective effort and dedication toward tackling insecurity and urged them to mobilise citizens in their respective states to contribute to safeguarding the nation.

“Security is not just about the governors; it is about everybody. We must all be involved in fighting this problem. We must give the President all the support we can so that he will succeed in redirecting Nigeria’s trajectory,” he added.

The PGF meeting, which held from December 5 to 6, was convened by the Forum’s Chairman, Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo State, and hosted by Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

In a communiqué read by Governor Uzodinma, the Forum passed a vote of confidence on President Tinubu’s administration and reaffirmed their support for the Renewed Hope Agenda, as well as their commitment to his re-election in 2027.

The governors reviewed the security situation nationwide, commending improved coordination among federal, state, and local security structures, as well as the sacrifices of security agencies and community volunteers. They also resolved to strengthen local security architecture across all APC-controlled states.
Uzodinma noted that the two-day meeting enabled the governors to assess the country’s direction and reinforce their collective commitment to President Tinubu’s efforts.

“The PGF commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his steadfast commitment to stabilizing the economy, strengthening national security, and laying the foundations of sustainable growth through the Renewed Hope Agenda,” he said.
