Kaduna’s Security Crisis Raises Questions About Tinubu’s Campaign Promises

The planned launch of the APC’s 2027 presidential campaign in Kaduna has renewed criticism of President Bola Tinubu’s response to insecurity and disasters in the state. The piece cites the Tudun Biri military drone strike, kidnappings in Kachia, attacks in Kajuru, flooding in Zaria and other incidents in which residents suffered major losses. It argues that the president visited Kaduna only twice after taking office, neither time primarily to meet victims of violence or disasters. It contrasts this with major infrastructure projects and public commissioning events in Lagos, including road, rail and transport projects. The article also points to poverty, food insecurity, school attendance and kidnapping figures in the Northwest. It asks whether new campaign promises on security, roads, rail and jobs will address the concerns of Kaduna residents who feel neglected.
