Government should address insecurity before it gets out of hand — Rev. Okoh

The Primate of the Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion), Most Rev. Nicholas Okoh, has called on the government to address the insecurity in the country before it gets out of hand.
Okoh stated this in Abuja on Thursday during the public presentation of his book: “Not By Might Nor By Power: Selected messages to the world.”
He said on the insecurity in the country: ““I have no solution because I am an individual.
“But we try to ask the appropriate authorities to do what they should do, and that is the government.
“I strongly believe that individuals should not take security initiative because if individuals take their own security initiative, by this I mean that we organise our own militias, the country will be destroyed.
“Everybody will perish.
“But government that has the constitutional responsibility to maintain security should do so and quickly too before it gets out of hand.
“That is my appeal.”
On why he has been speaking truth to power, the retired military officer, who joined the Anglican Church ministry and rose to the highest level, said: “It depends on what you believe to be your ministry.
“If your ministry represents God, God doesn’t lie.
“You might be poor, you must summon courage and speak the truth because it is the truth that heals.
“It is the truth that will define.
“If the person you are speaking to realises that you are lying or deceiving him, he will not help.”
