Tinubu Acknowledges Nigeria’s Ongoing Struggles

President Bola Tinubu has acknowledged that many Nigerians continue to face economic hardships and security concerns.

He made the remarks on Sunday after accepting the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential nomination for the 2027 election.

Recognizing the country’s economic challenges, Tinubu said: “However, there are still challenges ahead. Many Nigerians continue to face challenges with increasing prices and changes in the economy.”

“We take these concerns seriously; we see them and lead not from a place of ease, but from a true understanding of the situation, with honesty and decisive action,” he added.

The President also noted that security remains a significant issue in some parts of the country, despite ongoing military efforts.

“I recognize that there are still security challenges facing some areas of our great country,” Tinubu stated.

He highlighted that his administration has invested in intelligence, surveillance, and advanced security tools.

“We have put money into intelligence, watching over things, and new tools, and we are working on the main reasons behind insecurity,” he said.

Additionally, Tinubu urged the National Assembly to approve state police “as a matter of national emergency.”
