Dr. Joe Abah, a former director general of the Bureau of Public Service Reforms, says the next president of Nigeria must put an end to insurgency and banditry as the country votes in 2023.
In the past ten years, thousands of Nigerians have been displaced as a result of attacks by terrorists and bandits in the country’s northwestern, northcentral, and north eastern regions. Numerous people have also been killed by “unknown shooters” in Southern Nigeria.

The marauders have persisted in carrying out deadly attacks on military and worship facilities despite repeated efforts by the Federal Government and security services. These attacks result in the deaths of innocent civilians, kidnappings for ransom, and food stealing.
Speaking on The Platform: It’s Possible for Nigeria to Get Better, Abah protested the killings in the nation during an event hosted by Covenant Christian Centre on Saturday to commemorate Nigeria’s 62nd Independence Anniversary.
“The next Eze Wazobia (President of Nigeria) must put an end to the bloodshed as soon as possible. The militants, bandits, and unidentified gunmen must be ruthlessly crushed, he warned.
“He has the technology and the secret service know-how to do so. If he doesn’t, he must urgently get them. He should seek the help of other kingdoms where necessary. He must have the courage to grind them into dust without thinking about any second term.
“The current Eze finally has started to motivate our young warriors, they are willing and patriotic. Let us also pause briefly to appreciate the sacrifice they make on a daily basis on behalf of everyone.”
