Security & justice

As we begin our Lenten observance today, I urge fellow Catholics around Nigeria to remember and also pray for all those killed across Nigeria as a result of the looming insecurity. #AshWednesday

Dear @AbdulMahmud01, as Governor, I was not constitutionally empowered to arm SARS or any unit of the Nigeria Police Force or the Army. So, we never bought arms and ammunition for them because we were not legally empowered to do so.

The end of FSARS allows us to reform not just @PoliceNG, but also all our security agencies. It will also ensure they focus on their mandate, and #EndPoliceBrutality against our youth.

It is tragic enough that terrorists are killing and maiming our citizens; disrupting our lives and stifling our development, but their continued attack on our schools is an attack on our greatest asset: human resource.

I am saddened by the killing of innocent and hard-working young Nigerian, David Ntekim Rex, in the hands of armed robbers due to worsening insecurity in our country.

All Nigerians, irrespective of party and other affiliations, should immediately join hands to tackle the spectre of insecurity, poverty and unemployment that are now ruling and ruining our dear country. We are fast becoming a failed state.

As political leaders at all levels, we should not be fixated with the quest for power ahead of the 2023 elections, when the country is collapsing under the weight of insecurity, banditry and corruption, but how to fix the challenges facing Nigeria. https://t.co/l8E49LXivB

The terror attacks on Kaduna Airport and on Abuja-Kaduna bound train, with several persons reportedly abducted is depressing and disheartening and underscores the worsening level of insecurity across the country.

I deeply console the families and loved ones of our soldiers killed by terrorists. It's becoming regular duties to send such condolences of avoidable deaths. So sad! Our government should please do whatever necessary to stop these daily flow of tears...PO.

We will pursue intangible assets of good governance, rule of law, security of lives and properties, through an aggressive increase in personnel and equipment, and inclusive training of operatives in our security agencies. -PO #POinToronto

We will pursue intangible assets of good governance, rule of law, security of lives and properties, through an aggressive increase in personnel and equipment and inclusive training of operatives in our security agencies.

Accordingly, we will tackle insecurity robustly, through an aggressive increase in personnel and equipment and inclusive training of operatives in our security agencies.
