.Tinubu needs support, not criticism, APC chieftain tells Nigerians
The Agbekoya Society of Nigeria, a Yoruba farmers and hunters’ association, has urged the Federal Government to make provisions for arms and technologies for its members to contribute meaningfully to the fight against insecurity.
It also urged the Federal Government to extend the same gesture to Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC) to help in tackling security challenges in the South-West.
Secretary-General of the Society, Dr Adegbenro Ogunlana, who gave the charge in a statement in Lagos, yesterday, also called for transparency in the installation of Obas and Baales in the South-West.
He said that this would help to curb security challenges in the region and the country at large.
Ogunlana, however, cautioned kingmakers to stop cutting corners in the installation of traditional rulers.
Meanwhile, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State, Olatunbosun Oyintiloye, has called on Nigerians to support President Bola Tinubu in the fight against insecurity and stop negative criticism that can distract him.
Oyintiloye stated this, yesterday, in Osogbo, while having a chat with newsmen.
He said that insecurity in the country was becoming alarming and the development calls for a sober reflection.
He said that this is a period Nigerians should rally round the President to enable him to find a common solution to the various insecurity challenges facing the country.
The former member of the defunct APC Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), who condemned the recent killings, banditry, terrorism, kidnapping and other criminalities by men of the underworld across the country, said that there was no doubt that Tinubu was doing everything humanly possible to restore peace to the country.
According to him, this is a trying period for all Nigerians that are saddened with the latest multiple killings and kidnappings ravaging the country.
He said that Nigerians must take solace in God as government fashions out strategies to address the situation instead of negative criticism that would not solve the problem.
Oyintiloye also urged the President to mandate governors to rise to the occasion to nip insecurity in the bud by creating a community security network to support conventional security agencies in their various domains.
