What FG Must Do To Address Insecurity – Gani Adams

  “Things have gone wrong and it is beyond everybody’s imagination”
  
  Aare Onakakanfo of Yoruba land, Gani Adams has admonished Nigeria government to explore traditional options in solving the perennial and pervasive issue of insecurity in the country.

Adams gave the admonition when he spoke on Monday during the 2021 Odun Aje (Wealth) Festival at Orile Agege in Lagos.

The leader of the O’odua Peoples Congress (OPC) berated federal government on the current situation of security nationwide.

Adams, who commended Southern Governors for their ban on open grazing, said he was saddened by the security situation in the east.

“We totally support the position. I feel sad at the spate of insecurity across the Southwest. Kidnapping, banditry and killings have since been the bane of our region.”

Noting that open grazing is old and not in line with the 21st century, he said the practice had created more problems.

“I wonder why the federal government is bent on going against the wishes of the people. In the last few years, Nigeria has been in the news mostly for the wrong reasons.

“The insecurity is alarming and increasing. I think we need to tackle the menace, using the traditional approach and global template.”
