The same north that created the insecurities in their region to collect power and now using the same group for political gains and terrorism as a means to make money....


Imagine kidnapping someone and asking them to pay 100m.... Who's collecting the money? Which line was used to reach the people.... Why's the NCC reluctant in joining forces to trace these people?


There was never insecurities in the first place....

PRESIDENT BUHARI TO RELIGIOUS, TRADITIONAL RULERS: YOU HAVE KEY ROLES TO PLAY IN TACKLING INSECURITY

President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday in Abuja said no responsive government can ignore the role of religious and traditional rulers in tackling insecurity in the country.

Speaking at an Iftar dinner with religious and traditional rulers, the President said his administration would continue to count on the invaluable advice and guidance of members of the revered institutions towards improving the current security challenges in the country.

The President noted that moving Nigeria forward remains a collective responsibility, urging leaders at all levels to contribute meaningfully in making the country a better place.

''Today, insecurity is one of the greatest challenges facing Nigeria's existence. This administration has invested more resources than any other to tackle insecurity.

''We have acquired advanced equipment for our armed forces and the police to strengthen their capacity to confront terrorism and banditry. We have made adequate budgetary allocations for security.

''Whatever the security agencies request I make it available to them immediately.

''But insecurity is a world-wide phenomenon. The cure and the answer is for all sections of society to do their bit and confront the criminals head-on.

''The success of our armed and other security forces also depends on intelligence about the activities of bandits and terrorists.

''Those aiding and abetting terrorists are helping to destroy their own communities.

''Our traditional and religious leaders have a key role to play in terms of improving intelligence gathering about the movement of and activities of criminals in their domain,'' he said.

Noting that the challenges confronting the country are surmountable, the President recounted that when this Administration came on board in 2015, the local governments occupied and controlled by insurgent terrorists were recovered through the determined efforts of government and cooperation of local leadership.

''A similar effort is required now for all localities to work in full cooperation with security agents and Insha Allah we shall see the back of this problem soon,'' he said.

Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, Ooni of Ife, commended the Buhari administration’s timely response in curtailing the spread of COVID-19 pandemic, noting that it is symbolic that when the country looks inward it can surmount many of its challenges.

''Mr President, thank you for inviting us for Iftar. I remember vividly that last year we couldn’t meet to break the Ramadan fast because of the COVID-19 pandemic and we pray that such will never come our way again''.

The Ooni of Ife urged Nigerians to use the Holy month of Ramadan to always strive for unity, and celebrate the strength in Nigeria’s diversity.

''We have so many positives to celebrate in our country. Yes there are challenges but let us look more on our strengths than our weaknesses,'' he said.

Barr. Joseph Daramola, the General Secretary, Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), said he believed that ''God is at work in Nigeria,'' noting that there were spiritual lessons to learn on nation building from the Muslim Holy month of Ramadan and the Christian Lenten period that just ended with the Easter celebration.

''The power that raised Jesus Christ from the dead is able to bring our nation back to life, making every situation that looks impossible, possible,'' the CAN scribe said.

ADDRESS BY HIS EXCELLENCY, MUHAMMADU BUHARI, PRESIDENT OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA DURING HIS AUDIENCE WITH TRADITIONAL AND RELIGIOUS LEADERS

THURSDAY, 21ST APRIL 2022

It is my pleasure to welcome you to this Iftar dinner, a good opportunity for me to interact directly with you as leaders of thought and opinion leaders in society.

2.​ As traditional and religious leaders, you command tremendous influence and respect in society. Indeed, no responsive government can afford to ignore your invaluable advice and guidance.

3.​ This occasion is essential for exchange of ideas and improved communication between political leaders and our revered traditional and religious leaders.

4.​ Nigeria is a complex country with complex challenges. So, we need the support and understanding of other leaders in society through this kind of occasional interaction to move the country forward.

5.​ Moving Nigeria forward is a collective responsibility. Leaders at all levels have much to contribute to make Nigeria a better place.

6.​ I will like to make a few references on the issue of security.

7.​ Today, insecurity is one of the greatest challenges facing Nigeria's existence. This administration has invested more resources than any other to tackle insecurity. We have acquired advanced equipment for our armed forces and the police to strengthen their capacity to confront terrorism and banditry. We have made adequate budgetary allocations for security.

6.​ Whatever the security Agencies request I make it available to them immediately. But insecurity is a world-wide phenomenon. The cure and the answer is for all sections of society to do their bit and confront the criminals head-on.

7.​ The success of our armed and other security forces also depends on intelligence about the activities of bandits and terrorists. It is sad to say that these murderous criminals are succeeding because they have supporters and collaborators that help them with intelligence. Those aiding and abetting terrorists are helping to destroy their own communities.

8.​ This situation is frustrating government's efforts to tackle this problem. Our traditional and religious leaders have a key role to play in terms of improving intelligence gathering about the movement of and activities of criminals in their domains.

9.​ It is very sad that villages are being wiped out by bandits with the active support of some unpatriotic elements living in their own communities. As respected leaders in our own communities, we expect you reactivate long existing methods of gathering information about social movements in your own communities.

10.​ When this Administration took office fully, 18 local governments were occupied and controlled by insurgent terrorists. But by determined efforts of government and cooperation of local leadership we defeated Boko Haram there. A similar effort is required now for all localities to work in full cooperation with security agents and Insha Allah we shall see the back of this problem soon.

11.​ Let me use this opportunity to thank you once again for honouring our invitation to be here. May Allah grant all of us the abundant rewards and blessings of this Holy month of Ramadan, Amin.

12. Thank you once again and God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
