APC Manifesto Pledges 50,000 Police Officers and 28,000 Military Personnel

The APC’s 2027–2031 manifesto promises to recruit and deploy 50,000 police officers and 28,000 military personnel if the party wins the 2027 presidential election. The security plan also includes completing four new Army divisions and expanding counter-terrorism operations, community policing and intelligence gathering. The manifesto was presented at a launch in Abuja on Tuesday. The party also pledged to recruit 30,150 Civil Defence personnel, introduce digital policing tools and work with lawmakers and state governments on a legal framework for state and community policing. Other proposals include improved security personnel welfare, upgraded police barracks and greater domestic production of defence equipment. The manifesto cites figures on hostage rescues, police complaints and farmer-herder disputes as part of the party’s record since 2023. It says the plans aim to make communities, schools, farms and transport routes safer.
