A chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Wisdom Okoye, says Nigeria, like the United States, is struggling to address insecurity challenges.
Okoye spoke on Thursday during a press briefing in Abuja.
He was reacting to the surge in insecurity nationwide.
DAILY POST reports that students and teachers kidnapped in Oyo State are still in captivity, nearly a month after the incident.
There have been several other abductions and insecurity incidents in Kogi, Benue, Borno and Abuja.
Reacting, Okoye, who is the president of Tinubu Support Group, said while the Nigerian government has vowed to end insecurity, nowhere in the world is free of crime.
According to him, governors and local government chairmen across Nigeria must double their efforts to support what President Bola Tinubu and his security chiefs are doing to end insecurity nationwide.
”That there is no country in the world that is not having challenges, even in America.
”No country in this world has ever completely stopped crime. Our president is a builder; he would tackle insecurity.
“The truth is a president of a country cannot do it alone.
”We have governors, we have local government chairmen, we have coordinators, we have counsellors,” he said.
