President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Friday reiterated the need to establish a State Police to enhance security across the country. He also pledged to support efforts to reduce the high turnover of House members in the upcoming elections.

President Tinubu made this commitment at the State House during an interfaith breaking of fast with members of the House of Representatives.

The President commended the Speaker, Tajudeen Abbas, for his exemplary leadership qualities and dedication to nation-building.

“I appreciate the impressive turnout, and this shows the spirit of unity. You spoke very well as a team leader; you are a very good leader. I am very happy with the representation I see here tonight, which reflects your consciousness and the richness of your leadership. I thank you for speaking so well.

“I will do everything within our party’s power. In several constituencies, there are rotational arrangements. I wish that everyone would return.”

He expressed optimism about Nigeria’s economy, stating that better days lie ahead.

“It was initially very difficult for many to understand the direction of my thinking, but I am glad we are out of the dark tunnel. Many even thought we could reverse the subsidy removal. The tension has subsided.

“I am proud of you. You collaborated with me, and today those challenges are over,” he added.
