The northern leadership of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to live up to his constitutional responsibility by protecting citizens and defending the sovereignty of Nigeria.
While addressing the press recently in Kaduna, Sunday Oibe, secretary general of CAN in the nineteen northern states and the FCT, said the association is deeply concerned about the helpless security situation in the country.
He asked Buhari to live up to his constitutional responsibility by protecting citizens and defending the sovereignty of the country.
Oibe, noted that the country is on the verge of collapse, and requires proactive steps to contain the rampaging terrorists.
Nigeria is under siege by terrorists who are unleashing mayhem on the citizens and crippling economic and social activities across the country, particularly in states like Kaduna, Katsina, Zamfara, Niger, Benue, Plateau, Taraba, Kebbi, Sokoto and even Abuja, the seat of power,” he said.
“The continuous brazen and commando-like style, with which these terrorists operate unchallenged, even to the extent of issuing a threat to kidnap the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, is worrisome.”
Oibe further asked Buhari and the national assembly to stop living in denial, adding that “nowhere is safe.”
According to him, the country is on the verge of collapse, and as a matter of urgency, steps must be taken to stem the deadly activities of terrorists and other criminal elements across the country.
