The National Leader of New Nigeria People’s Party, Musa Kwankwaso, says the military can end the current security challenges facing the country, given the necessary motivation.
Kwankwaso, a former Minister of Defence, stated this when he spoke with newsmen shortly after the NNPP National Executive Committee meeting in Abuja on Friday.
He said that although it was the responsibility of the Federal Government to address the security challenge, Nigerians also had a crucial role to play by supplying vital information to security agencies.
“As former Minister of Defence, a former Chief Security Officer of Kano State for eight years, somebody who has gone around and well exposed in this game of politics, I believe that tackling security challenge is now on the shoulders of the Federal Government.
“We have seen states forming some security outfits. Sometimes, you laugh. The level at which it is today is at the level of Nigerian military, and anything short of that wouldn’t work.
“And everybody must work together to make sure there is peace in this country.
“Some of us who are from the villages and even towns, we can remember how our people were going to farms. Now people cannot go to the farm. They are also being chased from their villages and towns.
