The Allied Peoples Movement has challenged President Bola Tinubu and Defence Minister Christopher Musa to travel by road without armed escorts if they insist that Nigeria’s security situation has improved.
The challenge directly questions the government’s assessment of insecurity in Nigeria. The APM’s statement frames the use of armed protection by the president and defence minister as a test of whether official claims about improved security match conditions on the roads.
The party did not provide further details in the supplied report. Its central demand was that Tinubu and Musa demonstrate confidence in the security situation by making a road journey without escorts.
