The Director of the Abuja School of Social and Political Thoughts, Sam Amadi, has suggested that the major cause of insecurity in the southeast could be traced to bad governance in Nigeria.
Amadi explained that the negative development could be mitigated through quality community action.
In a post on his X handle on Sunday, the former Executive Chairman of the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission, NERC, opined that they cannot fold their hands and allow the ugly situation to continue.
He said: “Insecurity in Southeast. There is no good governance in Nigeria. That’s the major cause of insecurity in the country.
“But we can mitigate such through quality community action. We cannot fold our hands & allow the ugly situation. If government fails the people should fail too
“Igwe bu ike. Ibu anyi ndanda”
“We shouldn’t relent. Let’s work together to end insecurity in the southeast. We cannot achieve our destiny as the pride of Africa if we are consumed by insecurity no matter the justification.
“Restoring security should go together with good governance.”
