John Nwosu, the candidate of the African Democratic Congress in the 2025 governorship election in Anambra, has lauded the security partnership between Nigeria and the U.S.

Mr Nwosu, in a statement, described the synergy as a timely step toward strengthening the country’s counter-terrorism capacity.

The tech expert said the recent announcement by the defence headquarters of the arrival of U.S. military personnel and equipment in Nigeria was a welcome development.

According to him, this is laudable as the country continues to find solutions to its perennial security challenges.

Mr Nwosu said the partnership underscored the growing importance of technology-driven security architecture in modern warfare.

He said that in the contemporary security environment, technological innovation plays a crucial role in intelligence gathering, surveillance, and operational efficiency.

The former governorship hopeful applauded international collaboration between the federal and state governments to address insecurity.

He said beyond foreign partnerships, Nigeria needed comprehensive structural reforms, improved intelligence coordination, enhanced accountability, and sustained investment in modern equipment and personnel training.

“The protection of lives and property is the primary constitutional responsibility of the government.

“I call on authorities at all levels to adopt more decisive and measurable strategies to restore public confidence in the nation’s security framework,” he said.
