The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has unveiled a three-point strategy aimed at addressing Nigeria’s security challenges.
The party announced the plan while reacting to the latest Global Terrorism Index report.
According to the report, terrorist incidents in Nigeria increased by 43 percent under President Bola Tinubu and the APC, rising from 120 attacks in 2024 to 171 in 2025.
It further noted that Borno State accounted for 67 percent of the attacks and 72 percent of related deaths, with civilians making up 67 percent of the casualties.
Responding to the development, ADC National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, in a post on his X handle, said the party is committed to implementing decisive reforms to safeguard Nigerians.
According to him, one of the key areas of focus is improving intelligence coordination.
“Nigeria does not lack intelligence; it lacks coordination,” he said.
He explained that the ADC is proposing a legally backed national intelligence coordination framework to be led by a Coordinator of National Intelligence, alongside a unified Joint Terrorism Task Force to ensure timely responses and prevent lapses.
Secondly, Abdullahi said the party plans to decentralise policing to bring security closer to the people.
He noted that the ADC would establish a multi-layered policing system at the federal, state, and local levels, with clearly defined responsibilities and national standards to ensure quicker responses and accountability across all 774 local government areas.
He added that the party also intends to move from a reactive approach to a preventive security strategy.
According to him, this will involve intelligence-driven early warning systems and rapid response units in every state to stop attacks before they occur.
“The ADC’s focus will be to prevent attacks, not just respond after tragedy strikes,” the ADC spokesman said.
