Tinubu Confirms Plans for State Police in Nigeria

President Bola Tinubu confirmed the Federal Government's plans to establish state police across Nigeria as part of efforts to enhance internal security. Speaking at an interfaith Ramadan Iftar in Abuja, he urged political actors and residents in Kano State to remain calm amid ongoing political tensions.

Tinubu emphasized that the establishment of state police is not postponed and highlighted the need for unity in Nigeria, especially in light of recent economic uncertainties. Additionally, the All Progressives Congress (APC) is reportedly considering retaining Prof.

Nentaw Yilwatda as the national chairman and Dr. Ajibola Basiru as the national secretary ahead of the upcoming national convention scheduled for March 27-28.

The party's stakeholders, including governors, are said to be engaged in consultations to build consensus around these leadership positions.
