Bishop Calls On Buhari To Rise Up To Security Challenges
The Bishop of Egba Diocese,
Church of Nigeria, Anglican Communion, Rt. Revd. Emmanuel Oludaisi Adekunle has
called on President Mohammadu Buhari to rise up and find solution to the rising
insecurity in the country.
Adekunle, who made the call in
his charge at the 15th Synod of the Diocese, lamented the spate of killings,
kidnappings and the worsening security architecture of the country.
The man of God berated President
Muhammadu Buhari for surrounding himself with people who are economical with
the truth on the true state of the nation.
The cleric described those around
President Buhari as “noisy propagandists”, saying they “transfer the blames of
the misdemeanors of the present government to the former President or the
opposition party.
Adekunle, who described the All
Progressive Congress (APC) led administration as clueless, lamented that the
insecurity in the country which started with Boko Haram had degenerated to
insurgency, banditry, armed robbery, arsons, kidnapping and abduction as a
result of mismanagement and insensitivity of the leaders.
The Bishop urged the governments
at all levels and their officials to collectively stand against insurgency and
insecurity and not to provide covers for the perpetrators.
He also recommended community
policing, neighborhood policing and vigilante surveillance as agents of
security to ensure national safety while massive investment in agriculture
should also be undertaken and encouraged by the governments to address food and
unemployment crisis in the country.
