Africa-Press – Nigeria. A former aide to late President Muhammadu Buhari, Bashir Ahmad, has expressed concern over the worsening security situation in parts of Northern Nigeria.
Ahmad said it was “heartbreaking” to witness the continued deterioration of security in some northern communities, noting that in areas once known for peace, residents are now living in constant fear amid loss of lives and the collapse of livelihoods and local economies.
He stressed that insecurity should not be seen as a challenge for the government alone, describing it as a collective concern requiring the involvement of leaders, traditional institutions, security agencies, stakeholders and the general public.
Posting on X, Ahmad said lasting solutions can only be achieved through unity, trust, intelligence sharing and sustained commitment to justice and development.
He also offered prayers for peace, asking Allah to grant lasting stability in the region and across the country.
Ahmad wrote: “It is so heartbreaking seeing how insecurity continues to worsen in some parts of the North. Communities that once thrived in peace have been living under constant fear with loss of lives and the collapse of people’s livelihoods and economies.
“This is not a challenge for the government alone, it is a collective concern that involves leaders, traditional institutions, security agencies, stakeholders and the general public.
“This is the time for all of us to unite in finding lasting solutions and we know that lasting solutions cannot be achieved in isolation, it requires trust, intelligence sharing and sustained commitment to justice and development. May Allah grant us lasting peace in our region and across our country.”
