Nigerians' President, Muhammadu Buhari has reassured Nigerians that insecurity, especially kidnapping and banditry will seize to exist before the end of this year.
Buhari is making this assurance after almost Eight Years of promise made by his Administration to put and end to insurgency ravaging Nigeria.
Speaking at the 2022 Olojo festival on Saturday, The President urged Nigerians to be security conscious and should not leave policing the Country to security operatives alone.
He was represented by his Interior Minister- Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, who spoke in Yoruba, the President sought the cooperation of Nigerians to tackle insecurity by being very vigilant at all times.
His speech: “It is also our responsibility as a people not to leave security of our community for security operatives alone. We must all be vigilant and escalate strange movements in our society. Government is aware of your effort to ensure unity across the country, I must assure you that all forms of insecurity bedeviling the country will be history before the end of the year”.
Mainwhile, his speech has generated many reactions from Nigeria, with some quarters saying how can an Administration that could not end insurgency within Seven year, plans to end it within a year.
Aregbesola also charge traditional institutions across the country to influence on the young populace to go back to farm with a view to tackle food scarcity in the country.
The insecurity in Nigeria has become more worse that many Nigerians can not sleep with their two eyes closed. With this lastest promise, some Nigerians still believe that with the willing heart by various Government agencies, insurgency could still be a thing of the past.
The current Administration has less that Eight Months to the expiration of President Buhari's tenure.
