The Allied Peoples Movement, APM, has challenged President Bola Tinubu and Defence Minister, Gen. Christopher Musa (retd.), to travel by road without armed security escorts if they insist that Nigeria’s security situation has improved.

According to the party, the security crisis is not something to be measured only in official briefings or statistics. It is the fear of travelling by road, the empty seat at home after an abduction, or the family waiting for news from someone who never returned.

Against that backdrop, the APM said the government’s assessment does not reflect the reality on the ground.

In a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Abubakar Yusuf, the party accused the Tinubu administration of living in denial over worsening insecurity and faulted Musa for claiming that the country’s security situation had improved.
