Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Former President, Goodluck Jonathan has said President Muhammadu Buhari and state governors are working towards resolving Nigeria\u2019s security problem.<\/p>\n

Jonathan said he believes that Buhari and state governors are not sleeping over the burning issue.<\/p>\n

The former president commended Buhari and urged Nigerians to support the effort of ensuring that the country is safe.<\/p>\n

Jonathan expressed hope that the Buhari-led federal government and governors would be able to resolve Nigeria\u2019s insecurity challenge.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cI believe that the president himself is not sleeping, and that the governors are not sleeping as well over the insecurity challenge in the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs long as the governors, the president, and all the security agencies can work together, Nigeria will be able to cross over this very ugly phase of societal evolution.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jonathan spoke at a time when the activities of banditry have intensified in the North.<\/p>\n

Bandits had abducted several students in Katsina, Niger, and Zamfara States.<\/p>\n

Amid the issue of banditry, there are also challenges of kidnapping and killings and clashes among herdsmen, farmers and others.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
