Ahmed Makarfi, the former governor of Kaduna State, has issued a stark warning regarding the deteriorating security climate in Nigeria. He believes the nation is teetering on the brink of warfare and has called upon President Bola Tinubu to announce a national state of emergency.
Addressing reporters at his home in Kaduna, Makarfi voiced his alarm over the escalating frequency of abductions, murders, and militant violence nationwide. He emphasized that the crisis has reached a point where non-partisan collaboration is essential to restore order. He stressed that protecting citizens must transcend political boundaries.
Makarfi noted that the ongoing instability is actively stifling economic development and degrading the quality of life for the populace. He encouraged the federal administration to abandon the politicization of these threats and instead implement firm measures to prioritize public safety.
