Immediate past House of Representatives Speaker Yakubu Dogara on Thursday expressed fear that the North has become the epicentre and theatre of violence, sliding into a deep security crisis.The former Speaker expressed concern that unless urgent solutions are proffered to the pervasive insecurity in the region, it might sooner than later grind to a halt.
Dogara, who was the chairman of the meeting, said: “We are confronted with a crisis that is unparalleled in our history. The death spiral appears unstoppable. Increasingly, it is becoming harder and harder to distinguish us from our enemies.“There was no shortage of early warning signs and, as a matter of fact, our philosophers, such as the late Sa’adu Zungur, had warned that this dystopian era was fast approaching. But we ignored all. We are now paying for our collective negligence.
“As it is, we are now trapped in a prison of mirrors, where revealed lies are answered with new lies. With all these, it’s like our slow motion walk to self-Apocalypse is assured,” he said. “A peaceful and orderly Northern Nigeria then was more engaged in the pursuit of justice rather than pursuit for order. In tackling these problems, we must realise that guns do not kill and killing the violent does not necessarily bring peace except peace of the grave.
