What will you do about insecurity?
I see security as fundamental, because there can be no real economic opportunity where you are afraid to travel, farm, attend school or run your business. I am determined to strengthen the security architecture, deploy more boots on the ground, improve training, equipment and welfare, and expand accountable community-based approaches. The protection of your life and property is the primary responsibility of the Nigerian state, and I will treat it as exactly that: a responsibility, not a favour. In my adminstration, we will be proactive & not reactive to security challenges.
Where this comes from

We will also treat broadband and digital connectivity as essential national infrastructure. A young Nigerian in Gombe, Uyo, Sokoto, Enugu or Yenagoa should have the opportunity to participate in the same digital economy as someone in Lagos or Abuja. Technology should make dealing with government easier, faster and more transparent, not provide another layer of bureaucracy through which citizens must struggle.
Security is equally fundamental. There can be no meaningful economic opportunity where people are afraid to travel, farm, attend school or operate their businesses.
We will strengthen the security architecture, improve training, equipment and welfare, expand accountable community-based approaches and insist that the primary responsibility of the Nigerian state—the protection of life and property—is treated as exactly that: a responsibility, not a favour.
And our democracy must work.
