It is with utmost sense of proactiveness and great concern to the sustainability of our preserved peace as a Nation, that the Oodua Youth Coalition calls on the President of Nigeria, Gen. Muhammad Buhari to, as a matter of urgency, provide the Nigerian Military the necessary institutional and moral support to arrest the heightened insecurity challenges confronting the country.
This call becomes important as a result of the unknown gunmen invasion of the Nigeria Defense Academy (NDA), Kaduna and the brutal killings happening in Jos and different parts of the country. The ugly situations which send a negative signal to the Nigerian populace and international community, that Nigeria is losing the fight against insecurity, shouldn’t go unaddressed swiftly. The huge amount of money voted for security yearly is unjustified with the current security situations across the country.
We call on the President, as the Commander-In-Chief of the Armed Forces to, as a matter of emergency, order a background check on infiltrators, identify betrayal amongst the Force, unite and support the patriots in the Nigeria Armed Force as he declare war on bandits steering the calm water of the country.
We, however, call on the Southwest Governors to wake up to the reality of growing cases of robberies in the region and faction out how to collaborate with necessary stakeholders to arrest the situation. Bank robberies, which has claimed the lives of innocent citizens, have been recorded more than once lately in Ondo, Oyo and Ogun State. It is important the necessary attention is given to the situation before it becomes the new normal.
It’s important to note that any leader who fails in the security of lives and properties of the people he represents has failed in all ramifications.
