A Frontline Presidential aspirant under the platform of People’s Democratic Party PDP Senator Anyim Pius Anyim have recommended to the federal government strategies to bring lasting solutions to the issues that are fueling insecurity and disharmony in the country.
According to the former Senate President, military actions alone are not enough to solve the current insecurity problems in the country.
Anyim stated this in a statement signed by his presidential campaign Spokesperson, Ahmed Buhari, where he condemned the attack on a Kaduna bound train on Monday 28th March, 2022 and described it as barbaric and inhumane .
He however, expressed deep sorrow over the fate of innocent Nigerians some of whom lost their lives, while others got injured or are being held hostage or traumatized as a result of the wicked acts of criminals.
Anyim call on President Mohammedu Buhari to recalled his open letter to him in 2021, in which he counseled the government. He added that whatever has pushed Nigerians into killing their fellow citizens in these large numbers and at such frequency is a serious matter that must command the urgent attention of both the government and every leader in the country.
The former Senate President urged the Security Agencies to spare no effort in rescuing any of the passengers of the ill-fated train that are still being held by the criminals.
According to the statement, “Sen Anyim has cancelled all his political activities and consultation tours for the rest of the week in honour of those who lost their lives and those still being held by the bandits, while praying for the quick recovery of those wounded and comfort for the families that lost loved ones.”
“Sen. Anyim enjoins the Security Agencies not to relent in their efforts to rid our country of these criminals and restore the security and peace of our dear country” the statement concluded.
