The National Leader of Persons With Disabilities (PWDs) in the African Democratic Congress, Chike Okogwu, has called for a broader approach to addressing Nigeria’s security challenges, emphasizing the need for effective governance, accountability and institutional reforms alongside security operations.
In a statement titled “The Man, The Rottweilers and The Marauders: Nigeria Cannot Afford to Keep Holding the Leash,” Okogwu said lasting security can only be achieved through a combination of strong institutions, economic opportunities, intelligence gathering, justice and public trust.
According to him, security challenges such as terrorism, banditry, kidnapping and other violent crimes require coordinated action across multiple sectors of government rather than relying solely on military responses.
