2026 Budget: Security allocation shows Tinubu governing Nigeria with purpose, says APC

“The president clearly understands that no meaningful development can thrive without peace and safety,” the APC chair said.

The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Saturday commended President Bola Tinubu for making ample provision for security in the 2026 budget.

The party, in a statement on Saturday by the Lagos APC spokesman, Seye Oladejo, said the structure and priorities of the budget reflected deliberate planning and aimed at ensuring stability and long-term national renewal.

Mr Oladejo said the proposed N5.41 trillion allocation to the security sector in the 2026 fiscal framework shows the government is committed to addressing security challenges.

“The Lagos APC urges all Nigerians, stakeholders, and the National Assembly to view the 2026 budget through the prism of national interest rather than partisan cynicism.

“This is not a budget of rhetoric, but of resolve. It is a statement of purpose from a president who appreciates the weight of history and the urgency of now.

“We commend President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his foresight, courage, and clarity of purpose. Nigeria is steadily moving from emergency responses to structured, forward-looking solutions.

“The 2026 budget is yet another affirmation that this administration is not governing by chance, but by design,” Mr Oladejo said.

He said the lion’s share earmarked for security proves that the present administration is clear-eyed about Nigeria’s present realities and firmly focused on securing its future.

Mr Oladejo explained that the primary intent of the 2026 budget is to consolidate security gains and protect lives and property nationwide.

He added that the budget also aims to create a stable environment for economic recovery and sustainable growth.

“The president clearly understands that no meaningful development can thrive without peace and safety,” he said.

He said the N5.41 trillion sectoral allocation targets capacity enhancement for the armed forces and other security agencies.

According to him, this will improve intelligence gathering, inter-agency collaboration, and operational effectiveness.

Mr Oladejo said modernisation of equipment and logistics is also prioritised in the security allocation, adding that the welfare and motivation of personnel are central to the president’s security strategy.

“This leadership understands that security spending is not consumption but protection of national assets, human and material,” he said.

According to him, the budget also safeguards ongoing economic reforms from being undermined by insecurity.

Mr Oladejo urged ordinary citizens and the National Assembly to assess the budget through the lens of national interest.

Mr Tinubu on Friday presented the 2026 federal budget of N58.18 trillion, with N5.41 trillion allocated to defence and security, representing approximately 9.3 per cent of total expenditure.
