He said government has responsibility to do everything possible to halt the ongoing dehumanization of Nigeria.
His words,” government has responsibility to do everything possible to halt the ongoing dehumanization of Nigeria. Unfortunately what we have is a serious governance deficit. To put it bluntly, our country seems to be on auto pilot with no in charge.
“Resentment, disillusionment and hopelessness are the emotions on which insecurity and disharmony thrives. Our country is more divided today that at any other time since the civil war. There is a disturbing rise in ethnic nationalism and religious bigotry.
“This is promoting social tension and mutual distrust among the people of Nigeria. All over the country, there are daily breaches of security resulting in loss of lives and properties.
