Insecurity: Enough is Enough – Ex-APC Chieftain Tells Tinubu

By Mike Odiakose, Abuja

Obviously piqued by the seeming helplessness of present administration in tackling insecurity in the country, a former Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr Jackson Lekan Ojo, has called on President Bola Tinubu to declared State of Emergency in the entire Northern states.

In a message to President Tinubu sent through his his Facebook page, Dr Lekan Ojo, a Certified Security Expert, said Nigeria is becoming a laughing stock in the comity of nations because of the failure of the government to protect its citizens from brazen attacks by bandits.

Dr Lekan Ojo, however, gave a caveat that the State of Emergency in the North he is advocating for should not affect Democratic institutions in the affected states.

“I am lending my voice to the request by the Northern Elders Forum last week that Mr President should declared State of Emergency in the entire Northern Nigeria.

I think it is high time this is done. You heard what the governor of Borno State has just announced about the number of people that were slaughtered in the last two days. This is unacceptable.

“I think it is time for Mr President to militarise the entire Northern Nigeria to smoke out all these bandits and snuff out life out of them.

“Enough is enough. No matter the sponsors, no matter the backers, no matter the informants, these people cannot be greater than the Nigerian government.

“Mr President should over-police the entire Northern Nigeria, we should smoke out these people (bandits) and send them back to their creator.

“Enough is enough. Enough of other countries turning Nigeria into a laughing stock. Mr President should hacken to this clarion call.

“Mr President can declared State of Emergency on insecurity without anything that will affect the Democratic institutions in the Northern Nigeria.

“We cannot take this again, enough is enough.”

“God bless Mr President, God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria and God bless Nigerians.”
