A House of Representatives aspirant of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) for Anaocha/Njikoka/Dunukofia Federal Constituency in Anambra State, Pharm. Ikeagwuonwu Chinedu Klinsmann, has called on President Bola Tinubu to immediately declare a national emergency on insecurity, warning that the escalating wave of violence across the country now poses a serious threat to Nigeria’s unity and stability.
Klinsmann, a Sweden-based pharmacist and policy analyst, made the call in a statement issued in Awka on Friday, expressing concern over persistent killings, kidnappings, terrorist attacks, bombings and assaults on schools in various parts of the country.
According to him, the frequency and scale of attacks on communities, highways, farms, places of worship and educational institutions indicate that Nigeria is confronting a national crisis requiring urgent and extraordinary intervention.
“The soul of our nation bleeds. I can no longer remain silent in the face of the unrelenting assault on our people, especially our innocent children,” Klinsmann said.
