Alhaji Shehu Musa Gabam, the National Chairman of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), has applauded the federal government’s actions in addressing the insecurity challenges facing the nation. Speaking in Abuja over the weekend during an interaction with journalists on the national situation, Gabam highlighted the considerable progress achieved through government initiatives and emphasized the need for continued support from Nigerians to further enhance citizen welfare.

Gabam also lauded the government’s measures to stabilize the national currency and bolster the economy, recognizing the importance of a secure environment for political stability and investment growth.
Gabam remarked, “The notable reduction in crime, kidnapping, and violence reflects the government’s commitment to safeguarding lives and property. This is essential for fostering a conducive environment for political engagement and economic development.” He cited improved security conditions along major routes, such as the Abuja-Kaduna road, and decreased disruptions in the Southeast as indicators of progress in securing the nation’s territorial integrity.
While commending the government’s efforts, Gabam emphasized the need for continuous adaptation by security agencies to counter emerging threats effectively. He also addressed concerns regarding currency fluctuations and called for decisive action to address economic sabotage and stabilize the forex market.
