Sen. Ali Ndume, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Army, has stated that insecurity in Nigeria is decreasing, with the intention of eliminating it totally.
Ndume, who represents Borno South, made the remarks while answering questions from journalists following the turbaning of Malam Saliu Mustapha, a candidate for the All Progressives Congress national leadership, as the new Turaki of Ilorin on Friday.
“Insecurity is decreasing, but it is not eliminated. “Normally, you wouldn’t just say something is all-over,” he explained.
According to the previous majority leader, the federal government is doing a good job and doing its hardest to address the problem of insecurity.
Speaking after his turbaning, Mustapha said that he was delighted to be recognised and the honour would spur him to contribute more to his community.
He thanked members of the Ilorin Emirate and the Emir of Ilorin, Alhaji Ibrahim Sulu Gambari, for the honour.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Gov. AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq of Kwara, his deputy, Mr Kayode Alabi and Deputy Gov. Edward Onoja of Kogi, were among dignitaries that attended the event with display of horse ride and cultural display.
