From National Concern to National Action: TMF Praises Tinubu’s Courageous Drive for State Police

The Tinubu Media Force (TMF), Nigeria’s largest progressive grassroots media network, has applauded President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for demonstrating exceptional courage, foresight, and statesmanship in advancing the long-standing national conversation on State Police into a concrete reform agenda.
In a statement signed by its National Coordinator, Hon. Oluwagbenga Abiola (Agbelebu), the organization described the move as one of the most significant security reform initiatives in Nigeria’s democratic history, noting that the growing complexity of security challenges across the country requires innovative, community-driven, and decentralized solutions.
According to TMF, the President’s support for State Police reflects a deep understanding of the realities facing communities across Nigeria and a recognition that effective policing is most successful when it is rooted in local intelligence, community trust, rapid response mechanisms, and a clear understanding of the peculiar security dynamics of each state.
The group observed that for decades, Nigerians across political, regional, and ideological divides have advocated for a more responsive security structure capable of complementing the efforts of federal security agencies. TMF noted that President Tinubu has shown remarkable leadership by moving beyond rhetoric and providing the political will necessary to advance a reform many consider essential to national stability and development.
TMF further commended the Nigerian Senate for its swift and responsible engagement with the initiative, describing the upper legislative chamber’s actions as a demonstration of patriotism and commitment to addressing one of the nation’s most pressing challenges.
“The security of lives and property remains the foundation upon which economic growth, investment, social stability, and national prosperity are built. The ongoing efforts to establish State Police represent a bold attempt to strengthen Nigeria’s security architecture, improve intelligence gathering, enhance emergency response capabilities, and deepen collaboration between security agencies and local communities,” the statement noted.
The organization stressed that the proposed reform should not be viewed through partisan lenses but as a national imperative designed to strengthen the federation and improve the safety of all Nigerians irrespective of political affiliation, ethnicity, or religion.
TMF also noted that the initiative aligns with the broader objectives of President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, which seeks to build stronger institutions, promote good governance, and create an environment where citizens and businesses can thrive without fear or insecurity.
While acknowledging that constitutional safeguards, accountability mechanisms, and operational frameworks will be critical to the success of State Police, the group expressed confidence that ongoing consultations among stakeholders will produce a model that protects citizens’ rights while enhancing public safety.
The Tinubu Media Force therefore called on political leaders, civil society organizations, traditional institutions, security experts, and Nigerians across all sectors to support constructive dialogue and contribute meaningfully to the realization of a security framework that reflects the aspirations of the people.
TMF reaffirmed its unwavering support for reforms aimed at strengthening national unity, improving governance, and securing the future of Nigeria, emphasizing that the journey from national concern to national action is a testament to courageous leadership and collective responsibility.
