The All Progressives Congress (APC) national convention is scheduled to hold from March 27–28, 2026.

Christopher Musa, the Minister of Defence, has vowed to deliver tight security for the forthcoming All Progressives Congress convention to ensure the maximum safety of party members.

Mr Musa, who was appointed to chair the 2026 APC National Convention Security Sub-Committee, assured the ruling party of maximum security during its convention at the committee’s inaugural meeting in Abuja on Friday.

“For a party of the stature and national reach like the APC, the National Convention will attract thousands of delegates, party leaders, government officials, and observers from across the country and beyond,” Mr Musa said.

He added, “With the wealth of experience represented in this committee, I am confident we will deliver a security framework that ensures a smooth and successful convention.”

The defence minister said the 2026 APC National Convention Security Sub-Committee would adopt a proactive approach to provide befitting security for the party members.

“The Convention must reflect the highest standards of organisation and security befitting a ruling party and a responsible national political institution,” Mr Musa said.

He added, “Our approach must be preventive rather than reactive. Potential threats must be identified early and mitigated well ahead of the event.”

I believe security for a party convention should be the business of the police so I wonder what the minister of defence means by ensuring security when he's neither a police officer nor a minister for police affairs
This is how APC keeps ridiculing serious govt institutions and politicising sensitive institutions and issues yet they expect positive results from an institution they've tainted with their dirty political fingers

One day
This people will be held accountable
For their atrocities against ordinary Nigerians

When this man was appointed Minister of Defence, people celebrated and said Tinubu made the right choice. I kept wondering what exactly they were celebrating.

Christopher Musa was already the Chief of Defence Staff under Tinubu, and the country’s security situation has only worsened.

Now, instead of focusing on how to defend a country facing arguably the worst security crisis in its history, he seems more concerned with providing security for an APC event, a role that should ordinarily fall to the police.

Unfortunately, CG Musa is becoming a an empty barrel —many words, little action. Many of us were optimistic that he's going to change the game against terrorists. So far, no progress.
