Oyo: APM hails Makinde for surveillance aircraft to tame insecurity

The Allied People’s Movement (APM) has commended Governor Seyi Makinde for procuring two surveillance aircraft to bolster, enhance and strengthen security operations in Oyo state.

The party said the two DA 42 MNG model aircraft which were for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance operations, and equipped with sophisticated surveillance gadgets were capable of identifying targets from both high and low altitudes and a testament to the Oyo state government’s commitment to protect lives and property in the state.

APM National Chairman, Yusuf Mamman Dantalle, in a statement yesterday, further stated that the aircraft will support efforts of the nation’s security agencies including the Amotekun Corps in crushing terrorism, banditry, kidnapping for ransom and other criminal activities in Oyo state.

“This is in tandem with Section 14(2)b of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999, as amended, which provides that the security and welfare of the people shall be the primary purpose of government.

“Governor Makinde who is also the APM Presidential Candidate has demonstrated exceptional leadership capacity, managerial acumen and political sagacity to safeguard lives and property in Oyo State essential for sustainable democracy and development.

“The party hails his visionary, purposeful and inclusive governance that has transformed Oyo State  and urges residents to keep supporting the APM government in the state.

“The well-being of the people is the hallmark of democratic governance. APM will continue to put the interest of the masses first as proved in Oyo and Bauchi States the party is in power. Nigerians desire and deserve dividends of democracy not carnage.

“As Allied People’s Movement presidential flag bearer, Makinde will replicate his resourceful, robust, vibrant and compassionate leadership across the country, and redirect the ship of the nation from its perilous course to the path of progress, development and advancement, if elected into office as president in 2027. He has the political will to make Nigeria great again.

“Accordingly, the party urges Nigerians to identify with APM and all its candidates in the upcoming elections for improved national security, unity and prosperity,” he added.
