The Convener and President of Initiative for Better And Brighter Nigeria (IBBN) and Coalition for a Better And Brighter Nigeria (CBBN) Prophet Isa El-Buba has express dissatisfaction with the attitude of politicians across the country amid the insecurity and ongoing killings.
According to him, the politicians are not bothered with the rising violence, except politicking and defecting from one political party to the other, saying the political elites have confidently prioritized party defections over the safety of citizens.
El-Buba who spoke in Jos the Plateau State capital said the people are already tired of waiting for the government to tackle the killings.
“The nation is bleeding, yet politicians are more interested in defections than in saving live. We are tired of speeches, we are tired of excuses and we are tired of misinformation. This government must confront reality and act now.
“We must rise with one voice. We will not be victims anymore. We will not be intimidated anymore. We will not be silenced anymore.
“And we also seek reforms to ensure professionalism and neutrality in Nigeria’s security forces, and we insist that all citizens, regardless of faith or ethnicity, deserve equal protection.
“Therefore, we appeal to international communities and partners for their security support, targeted sanctions on terror sponsors, humanitarian aid, and sustained diplomatic pressure to ensure government accountability,” he said.
El-Buba then presented urgent demands to President Bola Tinubu and the federal government which includes accurately naming the atrocities, provision of real security to vulnerable communities, identifying, arresting, and prosecuting perpetrators and sponsors, rebuilding communities and supporting victims and committing to justice, equality, and security sector reform.
