The All Progressives Congress (APC) has advised Amnesty International to give President Bola Tinubu some time to work things out on tackling security challenges in the country.
Mr Felix Morka, the APC National Publicity Secretary, said this in a statement on Wednesday in Abuja.
“During his inaugural speech, Tinubu said clearly, that security will be the topmost priority of his administration and he promised to reform the nation’s security doctrine and architecture,” he said. Morka added that Tinubu had also given marching orders to the Security Chiefs to redouble efforts in dealing with the menace of terrorism, insurgency, banditry, oil theft,sea robbery and piracy among others.He added that Tinubu had decried the persistent security breaches in the country, saying he would not allow insecurity challenges to bring Nigeria to its knees while other countries were advancing.
This, Morka said it does to achieve:”its sinister objectives while hypocritically looking the other way when similar incidents occur in developed nations, especially in the Western world”.“By the end of May 2023 almost 20,000 people have died cumulatively as a result of gun violence and other violent crimes in America.
“Every government is daily devising means and ways to tackle rapidly changing security problems,” Morka said.He said that in 2022 alone, the UK police recorded 49,265 offences involving knives and other sharp instruments and 46,334 in 2021. “No organisation should gloat over these unfortunate incidents. It is too early for such unsympathetic reaction.
