adsIn a country battling rising insecurity, distrust in public institutions and political divisions ahead of the 2027 election, Ibrahim Mohammed Ajia, security officer and All Progressives Congress (APC) stalwart, is urging Nigerians to look beyond politics but to promote security and national unity.
Ajia, a retired officer of the Nigeria Police Force and prominent APC chieftain, spent part of the week moving between security formations and political leadership in Kwara State, delivering a message that blended sympathy, reform advocacy and partisan loyalty. But beneath the ceremonial courtesy visits was a broader attempt to reinforce confidence in President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s reform agenda, especially within Nigeria’s overstretched security architecture.
For Ajia, the visits were not merely symbolic. They reflected concerns shared by many Nigerians about the state of security institutions, the welfare of personnel and the growing complexity of threats confronting the country.
At the Kwara State Police Command Headquarters in Ilorin, the atmosphere was sombre. Recent attacks in parts of the state had claimed the lives of police officers, underscoring the dangers faced daily by security operatives across Nigeria.
