Former Taraba State Governor, Darius Ishaku, in a powerful 2021 statement, declared that if the government cannot provide adequate security, then citizens should be allowed to arm themselves, even with AK-47 rifles, for their own protection. His remarks came as violent attacks, kidnappings, and community invasions continued to rise across the country.

In the same video, Ishaku emphasized that “the security of this country has gone to the lowest level and we have to wake up.”
He described the situation as urgent and unacceptable, stressing the need for immediate action, stronger leadership, and genuine reforms within the nation’s security architecture.

“If our government cannot do it, we have the right to call on the international community to do for us what our government cannot do, and we should have no apology for that,”

Obasanjo stated this during the 2025 Plateau Unity Christmas Carol, held at the Ten Commandments Altar in Jos, where he attended as a special guest on the invitation of the Plateau State Government.
