The national publicity secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Barrister Felix Morka, has said insecurity was one of the key factors that prompted the removal of former President Goodluck Jonathan.
The APC spokesman said insecurity is a serious concern not just to the current government but is also at the core of the party’s presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, ’s thinking and programming.
Morka said the APC is ready to participate and win the 2023 general elections, adding that criticisms by opposition parties will not stop the ruling party from retaining power in 2023, as reported by Daily Trust.
He said, “The first duty of government is to protect the lives and property of citizens. That is the first and intimate duty. Insecurity is a very serious concern not just to the current government but also to the core of Asiwaju’s own thinking and programming.
“This government from where it’s coming inherited a humongous liability when it comes to security. We were not safe in 2015 and I think that was part of the impetus for the removal of the previous government. Now, this government has reclaimed a lot of ground that was lost.”
Toby Okechukwu, a member of the House of Representatives and deputy minority leader, has urged the federal government to allow citizens to carry arms to protect themselves from the country’s continued rate of insecurity.
The lawmaker representing Aninri, Awgu, and Oji River Federal Constituency in Enugu state said this on Wednesday, November 2, during an interview on Channels TV program, ‘Political Paradigm.’ Okechukwu argued that the security situation continues to worsen as the day goes by, stating that only good leadership can avert the menace of insecurity.
