Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has called for “intensified government action” to the “escalating terrorism plaguing various parts of Nigeria”.
The former Vice President’s call is coming following ‘SOS’ from the people of Isa Local Government Area in Sokoto State, who urgently appeal for intervention from the government to protect their lives and property.
The 2023 People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential candidate said, the “strength” needed to discomfit terrorism lies in the “unbreakable bond of our collective unity” not in the “barrels of guns”.
Taking to his official X account, Atiku said: “The escalating terrorism plaguing various parts of Nigeria demands intensified government action.
“Beyond the tragic loss of lives, these acts sow seeds of distrust, threatening the unity of our nation.
“The people of Isa Local Government Area in Sokoto State are urgently appealing for government intervention to protect their lives and property. This is an SOS and an early warning for the government and security agencies to act proactively.
“Isa Local Government needs immediate support, and we must unite in solidarity. Our greatest strength against terrorism lies not in the barrels of guns but in the unbreakable bond of our collective unity. Together, we can push back the scourge of terrorism.”
