Meanwhile, the Leader of the All Progressives Congress in Kwara State, Senator Bukola Saraki, has said a Federal Government controlled by APC will make the security of life and property of all Nigerians a priority.
According to him, the PDP controlled Federal Government has failed to secure the lives and property of Nigerians.
Saraki spoke during the APC campaign rallies in Ilorin South Local Government Area of the state, covering Fufu, Tanke, Okaka and Balogun Fulani.
He said the violence in some northern part of the country, especially in the North-East had shown that the PDP lacked the capacity to guarantee the safety of Nigerians and their property.

3,500 security personnel will not be enough
the UN should send 10,000 troops to Kwara State.

yeye

Dats D cinc. Noting shld be taken for granted.

YET THEY FIND IT DIFFICULT TO DEPLOY 1500 SOILDIERS TO SAMBISSA FOREST?

that's too small ,I'll have preferred 100000000 soldiers

Mr President recently feels so insecure in the midst of the masses. He knows the one time love & support he enjoyed have gone down the drain, hence the massive security everywhere he goes. Only God knows how many neighbouring Army barracks were emptied in order to host him in Maiduguri.
