Security Improvements and Food Price Drops Cited in Political Address
What happened
Sheikh Abdullahi Saleh Pakistan, the immediate past chairman of National Hajj Commission of Nigeria, stated that denying President Bola Ahmed Tinubu a second term could trigger a political crisis. Pakistan cited improved security along the Abuja-Kaduna highway and a drop in food prices as benefits of the All Progressives Congress-led administration. He also argued that Tinubu inherited two major security challenges: Boko Haram insurgency and banditry.
