The Allied Peoples Movement (APM) has condemned attempts by President Bola Tinubu's administration to downplay the worsening insecurity in the country, despite Nigeria now ranking as the fourth most insecure country in the world under Tinubu's watch, as reported in the Global Terrorism Index (GTI) 2026. In a statement by the party's National Publicity Secretary, Yusuf Abubukar, the party berated the Minister of Defence, General Christopher Musa (rtd.), for claiming that the security of the nation had improved under President Tinubu. APM argued that the situation on the ground and independent reports by credible international organisations showed that Nigeria's insecurity rating has actually climbed two spots from the 6th place recorded in the 2025 index. According to the party's spokesman, APM finds it deeply disappointing that a minister of the Federal Republic could make such claims.
