Insecurity: Fewer people have died under Tinubu than previous govts — APC Chieftain

June 1, 2026

Former Acting National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Hilliard Etta, has defended President Bola Tinubu’s handling of security and economic affairs, arguing that the country has recorded fewer deaths from insecurity under the current administration than under previous governments.

Etta made the remarks during an interview on ARISE NEWS on Sunday, where he rejected claims that insecurity had worsened since Tinubu assumed office in May 2023.

According to him, assessments of the administration’s performance should be based on available statistics and comparative data rather than public sentiment.

“Far less people have died under Asiwaju Bola Tinubu than any government from the time. It’s on the newspapers. It’s on the newspapers. It’s on the terrorism index,” Etta said.
