Lagos APC Hails Tinubu’s Leadership in West African Peace and Security

President Bola Tinubu


The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has commended President Bola  Tinubu for what it described as Nigeria’s renewed leadership in promoting peace, stability and security across the West African sub-region.


In a statement by its spokesman, Hon. Seye Oladejo on Thursday, the party said Nigeria continues to play a defining role in shaping regional responses to political transitions, military interventions, economic uncertainty and growing extremist threats in the Sahel and Gulf of Guinea.


According to the Lagos APC, President Tinubu, in his capacity as both Nigeria’s leader and a key figure within ECOWAS, has strengthened democratic engagement, advanced diplomatic dialogue and reinforced the region’s collective security frameworks.


The party said Tinubu’s “firm stance against unconstitutional changes of government” and his efforts to sustain negotiations among ECOWAS leaders have contributed to de-escalating tensions and safeguarding democratic governance across West Africa.


It added that Nigeria’s security apparatus remains central to ongoing counterterrorism operations, intelligence-sharing arrangements and joint military activities aimed at curbing terrorism, banditry, piracy and cross-border crime. 


The statement noted that Tinubu has pushed for the revitalisation of ECOWAS standby forces and deeper security alliances with global partners.


The Lagos APC further highlighted Nigeria’s diplomatic outreach under Tinubu, citing regional mediation efforts, economic integration initiatives and strengthened development partnerships as part of the administration’s broader strategy to stabilise the sub-region.


The statement described Nigeria as “the anchor of West African stability,” expressing confidence that the country’s leadership would continue to promote peace, economic cooperation and democratic governance.

The Media Rights Agenda (MRA) on Tuesday called on Federal and State Governments to make human rights a lived reality for all Nigerians in accordance with their constitutional obligation to recognize and maintain human dignity.  It said that by so doing, they could begin to rebuild public trust in government, foster national unity, and unlock the true potential of the Nigerian people. In a statement issued in Lagos to commemorate this year’s International Human Rights Day, MRA lamented that the promise of human rights contained in the Constitution as well as in regional and international instruments that Nigeria is party to, has remained unfulfilled for far too many citizens as the country has spiraled into a jungle where only the fittest survive and human life has little value. MRA’s Programme Officer, Ms Esther Adeniyi, said in the statement: “The Federal Government has duties and obligations under international law to respect, protect and fulfil human rights. It cannot claim to ...
