The Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has promised to establish highly trained and disciplined anti-terrorist battalions to tackle insecurity in the country.
Tinubu’s aspiration for a new Nigeria was contained in his 80-page manifesto tagged “Renewed Hope 2023, Action Plan for a Better Nigeria”, which was launched yesterday at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
He also assured that the Police Force would be repositioned to deliver on its primary duties of community policing and maintaining law and order through crime fighting and prevention.
Tinubu noted that the police personnel would be freed from extraneous duties such as VIP security and guard duties.
The APC candidate stressed that if elected, his government would reduce the country’s dependence on imported foreign military equipment by ramping up domestic production of basic and essential military hardware and equipment, including small arms and ammunition.
