Breaking: Akpabio Mentions When Insecurity Will End

Godswill Akpabio, the Senate President, has said that the growing insecurity in the country was due to the forthcoming general elections, adding that the situation would subside after the poll.

The Senate president made the comment at the official launching of the Nigerian Revenue Service Corporate Headquarters in Abuja on Tuesday, April 14, adding that President Bola Tinubu is performing well and that his critics did not know what to do other than to sponsor insecurity in the country.

The Senate president explained that insecurity will be a thing of the past as soon as the election comes to an end. He projected that the situation would be over in two weeks after the election

He also mocked the opposition for being in disarray and threw a jibe at Peter Obi, the former presidential candidate of the Labour Party, saying: "Someone got six million votes and abandoned the party, abandoned the six million votes and went shopping for another platform, and they are blaming the ruling party.”

The Senate president then urged Nigerians to be patient with President Bola Tinubu's administration, adding that the people are doing the right thing.

However, Akpabio's comment has started generating responses from some Nigerians. Below are some of their reactions:

Ibrahim Mu'azzam Jidawa said an effective election required a safe space:

"No activity can take place under an atmosphere of insecurity. Therefore, before an election can be effectively and efficiently conducted, there must be peace and tranquility across the nation."

Ruth Sili said Akpabio's promise is not realistic:

"This promise just reminded me of when I was small, my mother promised me that she would never have any child besides me, only for me to grow and see 4 siblings."

Hindatu Abubakar said Akpabio could be right:

"Everyone's eyes and ears can at last see and hear the truth from one of the horse's mouths. Everything may just be deliberate."

Ali Fari said there is no political will from the government to fight insecurity in the country:

"Almost all Nigerians know insecurity is defeatable, but political will to end it matters. We can see the proof now."
