Insecurity Reducing in Nigeria, Says APC National Chairman Media Aide
From Bashir Rabe Mani in Sokoto
Alhaji Yusuf Dingyadi the Senior Special Assistant on Media to the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, says insecurity in Nigeria is reducing following the deployment of ultramodern security equipment and adoption of non-kinetic measures by the Federal Government.
According to him, the intervention has led to massive reduction of recurring security challenges across Nigeria.
In a statement issued on Monday, Dingyadi said even though insecurity remains a source of serious concern, the Federal Government has been doing its best to reverse the trend, especially in Zamfara, Katsina, and Sokoto States, which constitute the epicentre of banditry in the country.
The media aide said the federal and state governments, state and various security agencies are making concerted efforts to safeguard the lives and property of law-abiding citizens.
Dingyadi further noted that although the menace has persisted, authorities at all levels of government have not relented in the fight against terrorism, banditry, and other sundry crimes across the nation.
While condemning criminal elements across the country, he expressed optimism that there is light at the end of the tunnel.
He appealed to Nigerians for sustained patience and fervent prayers, and lamented the activities of informants, which is aggravating the security situation.
Dingyadi decried the politicization of the security challenges and the apparent lack of effective synergy among security agencies.
He commended Minister of State for Defence, Dr. Bello Matawalle, for the efforts to curb insecurity across Nigeria.
He recalled that as a one-term Governor of Zamfara State, Dr. Matawalle worked strenuously to secure the lives and property of the people.
He added: “Even now, Matawalle is unwaveringly committed to working with the Minister of Defence to stem the tide of insecurity.
“He never sleeps, he never gets tired, and he is working round the clock to make the lives of Nigerians more secure and fully protected.”
Dingyadi appealed for the support of the opposition and all Nigerians for the nation’s gallant troops fighting insurgency and other criminal elements.
He advised governors to face the issues of insecurity and the provision of basic social services to the citizens with greater commitment and seriousness.
On politics, the APC chairman’s media aide said the party’s National Working Committee under Prof. Nentawe in providing true leadership, and reconciling aggrieved members to sustain discipline, cohesion and unity in the party after the congresses.
