The PDP condemned the Tinubu administration after Nigeria was ranked fourth globally on the 2026 Global Terrorism Index, describing the standing as a damning indictment of the ruling APC's security record. The party accused the federal government of failing in its most basic constitutional responsibility, protecting the lives and property of citizens, and said the ranking reflected years of drift in the fight against terrorism and banditry rather than any sudden decline. With President Tinubu holding constitutional responsibility as commander-in-chief over the armed forces and police, the PDP argued that the ranking left no room for the government to deflect blame elsewhere.
