BEVERLY HILLS, January 22, (THEWILL) – Abdulsalami Abubakar, a former head of state, has declared that the country is at a crossroads due to insecurity in the state.
He said this while speaking at an event organised by Ahmadu Bello Memorial Foundation in Kaduna where he called on citizens to give any intelligence they get to security agencies as this would help them to curb insecurity.
He said all Nigerians should work towards ensuring that there is peace in the country.
“The present security challenges, ranging from banditry, kidnapping to terrorism, I will say Nigeria is at a crossroads,” Abubakar said.
“We should therefore try as much as possible to give information and intelligence reports to security agencies for timely action.
“We will always pray for peace and I am appealing to all Nigerians to put all hands on deck to eradicate this menace of insecurity currently threatening the peace of the country.”
Speaking about Ahmadu Bello, Abubakar asked politicians to emulate the late Bello “in actions and deeds” saying he was one leader who ensured that there was peace.
