The former Minister of Defence expressed his belief that the Nigerian military has the capability to tackle the various security challenges facing the nation, particularly in the North-East region where insurgency has been a major concern.
Kwankwaso emphasized the need for proper motivation and support for the armed forces in order for them to effectively combat insecurity. He called on the government to provide the necessary resources and equipment to empower the military to carry out their duties effectively.
He also stressed the importance of collaboration between the military and other security agencies to ensure a holistic approach to addressing security challenges in the country.
Kwankwaso’s comments come amidst growing concerns over the escalating insecurity in Nigeria, with reports of increasing attacks by armed groups and bandits in various parts of the country.
As the nation grapples with these security challenges, the former Minister of Defence’s assertion that the military can play a crucial role in restoring peace and stability will no doubt fuel discussions on how best to address the pressing issue of insecurity in Nigeria.
