Furthermore, the PDP presidential candidate advocated “applying diplomatic pressures needed to stem the free flow of light arms and assault weapons across the West African sub-region and through our borders.

“I believe these actions will go a long way towards reducing incidents of insecurity and providing the secure environment needed for economic growth.”All rights reserved.
