A former Minister of Defence, and the New Nigeria People’s Party, NNPP, Presidential candidate in the 2023 general elections, Musa Kwankwaso, says the military has capacity to end the current security challenge facing the country if given the necessary motivation.

Kwankwaso said this when he spoke with newsmen shortly after the NNPP National Executive Committee meeting in Abuja.

He said that although it was the responsibility of the Federal Government to address the security challenge, Nigerians also had a crucial role to play by supplying vital information to security agencies.

“As former Minister of Defence, a former Chief Security Officer of Kano State for eight years, somebody who has gone around and well exposed in this game of politics, I believe that tackling the security challenge is now on the shoulders of the federal government.

“We have seen states forming some security outfits. Sometimes you laugh. The level at which it is today, is at the level of the Nigerian military and anything short of that wouldn’t work.

“And everybody must work together to make sure there is peace in this country.

“Some of us who are from the villages and even towns, we can remember how our people were going to farms. Now people cannot go to the farm. They are also being chased from their villages and towns.

“Our children are daily abused and taken away by criminals and bandits in hundreds,” he said.

The NNPP national leader said that his party had the formula to address the problem and other challenges facing the country if given the opportunity by Nigerians.
