The Nigerian Presidency has
reacted to the allegation by the Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria that it
is handling the security of the nation with levity.
The Bishops had said in a
communiqué issued at the end of its meeting in Ekiti that the situation at hand
was creating panic across the nation hence demanded concerted efforts by the
highest level of government to find solutions.
However, the Special Adviser to
the President on Media and Publicity, Chief Femi Adesina said that blame game
was not the best way to go.
He said it was the Catholic
Bishops that were creating panic among Nigerians through their accusation of
government levity on security matters.
In a terse statement yesterday,
Adesina said: “Every rational voice is welcome in finding lasting solutions to
challenges confronting the country, particularly killings by herdsmen, whether
alleged or real.
“But in arriving at solutions,
blame game is not the way to go. Accusing government of levity, when in fact
all hands are on deck, worsens the situation, as it creates panic and fear
among Nigerians, which is what the bishops incidentally also decried in their
communiqué.
“Nigeria has faced many challenges,
and surmounted them all, by the grace of God, this too shall pass.”
