Surge In Insecurity Cause For Concern To Nigerians – Oyetola’s Ally To Tinubu
A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Osun State, Olatunbosun Oyintiloye, has said the upsurge in kidnapping and other insecurity challenges in the country is a source of concern to Nigerians.
This was as he appealed to President Bola Tinubu to urgently tackle the insecurity confronting the country.
While speaking with journalists on Sunday in Osogbo, the former lawmaker said that the gains the security agencies had recorded in the fight against insecurity under the present administration should not be allowed to slide away.
Oyintiloye, who is an ally of the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Gboyega Oyetola, said that the recent wave of insecurity, especially kidnapping, needed urgent attention.
The APC chieftain also advocated for inter-agency collaboration to tackle the upsurge of kidnapping and other security challenges.
While noting that the issue of security was a collective responsibility, Oyintiloye called on citizens to collaborate with the government in the fight against the menace.
The APC chieftain also urged citizen to endeavour to always provide useful information that could help the security agencies to curb the activities of the criminals.
“There is no doubt that the president is doing everything humanly possible to tackle insecurity challenges in the country, but the collaboration of the citizens is also important.
“But the recent upsurge in kidnapping is a serious concern to Nigerians.
“This recent ugly incident underscores the urgent attention by the president and the security agencies to fight back with full force for the peace and stability of the country,” he said.
