The Senior Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to
President Muhammadu Buhari, Mr Femi Adesina, has urged Nigerians to
continue to exercise patience with the Federal Government
especially with regards to issues of insecurity in the
country.

The President’s media aide made the appeal during an appearance
on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics when asked how much longer
Nigerians should wait till the issue of insecurity is resolved.

According to him, security is not something that a timeline can
be put on, rather it is an ongoing issue that needs to constantly
be reviewed.

“Patience must be elastic, it’s not something that you get to a
point and say patience has run out. Patience must be a continuous
thing,” he said.

Adesina continued: “There are certain things in which you don’t
have control of all the variables. If you don’t have all the
variables, you don’t then begin to give timelines. And security is
not one of those things that you will give a timeline to say by
this time to this time, we will achieve this.

“All over the world, security is a continuous thing and even the
most advanced countries, are still working at it”.

President Muhammadu Buhari had hinged his 2015 election on three
major promises – fighting security, anti-corrupti on, and economic
development.

Police Rescue 84 Schoolchildren, Dislodge Bandits In Katsina

The same promise was reiterated in 2019, with security still
said to be a priority of his administration.

But despite this promise, the security situation in the country,
especially in the north, appears to continue to deteriorate.

Last week, hundreds of schoolboys were abducted from the
Government Science Secondary School in Kankara, Katsina State.

Although the boys have now been recovered, there have been
questions around the circumstances of their release in relation to
a similar situation in Chibok and Dapchi where schoolgirls – many
of whom are still missing, were also kidnapped in 2014 and 2018
respectively.

Since the kidnap and rescue of the Kankara schoolboys, other
incidents of kidapping and banditry have continued to occur.

But Mr Adesina insists that “security remains a work in
progress”.

According to him, there was once a time in the country when
cases of bombings, kidnappings and other forms of insecurity
occurred nearly on a daily basis and he believes that although work
still needs to be done, there has been a huge improvement.

“Let’s be thankful for small mercies,” he urged Nigerians,
adding that “there are challenges, but that is not the
constant”.
