President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, has reaffirmed the National Assembly’s support for President Bola Tinubu’s efforts to tackle insecurity in Plateau State and across Nigeria, insisting that residents must be able to return to their farms, rebuild their communities and raise their families without fear.
Akpabio gave the assurance while speaking at the APC North-Central Presidential Campaign Rally held at the Jos Zaria Road Stadium on Saturday, November 14, 2026. He said restoring peace to communities that have endured years of insecurity and displacement must remain a national priority, adding that the people of Plateau deserve lasting security and the opportunity to rebuild their lives.
The Senate President disclosed that the National Assembly was advancing the constitutional framework for the establishment of State Police, which he said would strengthen security arrangements and improve the protection of communities. He also welcomed Tinubu’s commitment to rebuilding affected communities, helping internally displaced persons return home and directing security agencies to take decisive action against insecurity.
Akpabio further said the political coming together of Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang and former governor of the state, Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, in the APC presented an opportunity to strengthen unity and cooperation in Plateau. He urged political leaders to ensure that the unity translates into meaningful efforts to protect lives, restore livelihoods and improve the wellbeing of residents.
