Popular socio-political activist and critic, Chief Adesunbo Onitiri has appealed to President Buhari to seek foreign help for his administration to tackle the insecurity issues presently bedeviling the country.
Onitiri posited that seeking foreign help urgently is imperative to enable Nigerians to sleep in peace and harmony.
According to him, the president has to act fast to save the country from incessant attacks from bandits and terrorists.
Onitiri made this appeal In a strongly-worded Press statement in Lagos yesterday.
“No doubt this APC administration has failed Nigerians woefully and has nothing more to further offer the nation than to seek help and prepare for early General elections.
“Any government that cannot protect the lives and property of its citizens has no business to remain in power,” he stressed.
The social critic noted that bandits and terrorists have overwhelmed this administration, kidnapping, killing, maiming innocent Nigerians, collecting outrageous random from their families with audacity as if we don’t have any government in place.
“We wake up daily to hear news of our youths, women, and citizens being raped, kidnapped, maimed, and killed every day and our government behaved as if nothing happened.
“While the country is in a state of war with the bandits, our students are out of school for over five months. All our higher institutions are under lock and key. This is unacceptable to Nigerians,” Onitiri stated.
He frowned at the military for allegedly shaking in their responsibilities to protect Nigerians. We are not sure if we have any armed or security forces anymore.
Onitiri explained that the Kuje Prison and the Kaduna military formations attacks were sour in the mouth. “It’s like our sovereignty as a nation has been eroded.”
He lamented that the insecurity situation in the country had worsened to the extent that the bandits and terrorists now boast to kidnap our President and state governors.
The socio-political activist expressed worries that the bandits were so emboldened to attack the Brigade of Guards in Aso Rock which was never heard of.
This calls for urgent drastic action to save the nation from destruction, by declaring a state of emergency on insecurity, he suggested.
He noted that it was very shameful for Nigeria as a nation to see bandits and terrorists holding press conferences in the open. Saying they are now getting turbaned and honoured in Zamfara state with top government dignitaries in attendance.
Onitiri said it’s a double standard for the APC government that the IPOB leader was kidnapped in far away Kenya and Yoruba freedom fighter, Sunday Igboho was arrested in the Benin Republic, but it could not pick the most wanted and notorious bandits in Zamfara.
He said the genuine questions to ask are whether we still have a patriotic Nigerian Army and if our National Assembly is on the side of Nigerians.
