The Arewa Consultative Forum,
ACF, has stated that recent attacks by herdsmen on some communities across the
country demand urgent attention from those vested with power to secure lives
and properties.
He said: “The recent attacks by
herdsmen on some communities across the country have drawn the attention of the
nation to security challenges which demand urgent attention from those vested
with power and authority to secure the lives and properties of the citizens
lest such challenges reach unmanageable level.
“My advice is not only to the
federal government and its agencies but also to the state governments as well
as to all political, religious and traditional leaders, that they should all
come together and think out the best way of overcoming the security challenges
for larger interest.
“I want to believe there are
short term, medium term and long term measures that can be taken to bring about
peaceful resolution of the crises at hand that are acceptable to all the
parties concerned.
“This is very necessary because
peace is a precondition for any meaningful socio-economic development of any
nation.
“We do not need a tsunami or
hurricane in order to know that Nigeria has serious security challenges which
make the governments at all levels to need the support of all Nigerians as the
nation grapples with them.
“The situation is not beyond
redemption.”
