US, UK Also Bedevilled By Mass Killings, Allow Tinubu To Settle Down – APC Replies Amnesty InternationalThe APC in a release on Wednesday noted that many nations in the world, including the United Sta
tes of America and the United Kingdom were bedevilled by insecurity including killings.The All Progressives Congress has replied global human rights body, Amnesty International, saying President Bola Tinubu should be allowed to settle down to do his job, because killings are not peculiar to Nigeria.
“That mass shooting and gun violence have become an epidemic in US does not make the American government a failure in protecting its people or make mass shootings a ‘norm’ in the country. Every government is daily devising means and ways to tackle rapidly changing security problems,” the statement by Felix Morka, the APC National Publicity Secretary, said.
Isa Sanusi, Amnesty International’s Acting Nigeria Director, had said, “It is horrific that attacks by gunmen have claimed at least 123 lives mere weeks after President Bola Tinubu assumed office on 29 May. Rural communities, always bracing themselves for the next bout of violence, are facing deadly attacks by rampaging killers. Protecting lives should be the utmost priority of the new government. The Nigerian authorities must urgently take steps to stop the bloodletting.
“During his inaugural speech, President Bola 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.
