When you cannot drive safely from Abuja to Kaduna, you can\u2019t drive safely from Port Harcourt to Warri; you can\u2019t drive safely from Enugu to Makurdi.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhere do you go? The situation is very alarming and anybody who says that he is not alarmed by what is happening should tell the nation the reason for that, and that he can\u2019t be affected by what is happening.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe insecurity situation is so bad that nobody knows the next victim. It is very unfortunate and the Federal Government should do something to arrest the situation before it is too late.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of the major campaign promises of President Muhammadu Buhari in 2015 was to handle security having accused ex-President Goodluck Jonathan of being \u2018weak\u2019 in tackling the Boko Haram menace.
