Divert All Fundings To Securing Nigeria, Abdulsalam Tells FG

Former Head of State General Abdulsalam Abubakar(Rtd) has
advised the Federal Government to forget every infrastructural
development and divert all necessary fundings to secure peace
across the nation.

According to Abdulsalam, if there is no peace, there cannot be a
country.

He appealed to the Federal Government to stop every unnecessary
development and focus on security.

Abdulsalam spoke when Senate President, Ahmed Lawan, visited him
to commiserate over the death of father of Senator Sani Musa, the
Senator representing Niger East Senatorial District.

He said: ” My suggestion is that due to the overstretching of
our security forces, I think, all the necessary fundings should be
given to the security forces.

“I suggest that we look at the unnecessary development issues in
the country and do the needful to make life bearable and let us
face this insecurity by diverting the necessary fundings to secure
peace in this country. If there is no peace, there will be no
country.”

Abdulsalam further prayed those making life difficult for
Nigerians will give peace a chance.

Lawan appreciated advice of the elder statesman, saying the
courage, resolve and determination of Nigerians would help the
nation surmount its current challenges.

The Senate President said majority of Nigerians still want
Nigeria to remain one, stating those calling for segregation of the
country should be properly guided.
