His statement highlights the urgency of addressing the security challenges and economic hardships faced by Nigerians, seeking a collective response to mitigate the suffering and ensure a better future.

Taking to the micro blogging platform, X, he wrote:

“When I say we should declare war on the economy, power, and insecurity, some people spin the narrative, while others complain. But what else can we do?

“In the last 24 hours, several people have been kidnapped across Nigeria, including about 20 dental students from Maiduguri and Jos in Benue State.

“An Anambra State Commissioner and his wife were abducted in Edo State, and others travelling with them were killed. These are just a few of the many tragic incidents happening across the country.”
