Yoruba Ronu urges Buhari to act on insecurity

Our ReporterA group, the Yoruba Ronu Leadership Forum, has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to save the country from insecurity.The President of the body, Akin Malaolu, said in a statement in Lagos: At a time like this when our nation and our people are looking for redemption from insecurity, we have noticed the unending silence of our President on matters of serious national importance. We have equally noticed the lack of interest to the contents in the open letter written by former President Olusegun Obasanjo in 2019 in the aftermath of the late Mrs. Funke Olakurins gruesome murder by suspected herdsmen.In the letter, ex-President Obasanjo gave a vivid account of the conditions of things and also offered the way forward to President Buhari .Read Also; Be in a hurry to end insecurity, Sultan tells Norths governorsOur assessment of our precarious conditions is worrisome and dangerous as well. The conditions Obasanjo observed are still well and alive today.This is not the time for recrimination or blame game, but a time for leaders who still love Nigeria and its diversity to come together and heal our nation. The debates today are centred on the recklessness of some herdsmen, but unfortunately, they are interpreted to cover all herdsmen. This narrative must change against such a minority tribe with less than 20 million in a population of 230 million people. We must avoid looming genocide that may have dire consequences on humanity.We must come together and fashion ways out of the terrible water we have plunged ourselves into.There is fire on the mountain. We on our part and as leaders of thought in the Southwest shall work for peace. We urge other tribes and leaders to do same.President Buhari should not see advice as a thankless task, or else his government, which has moved away from democratic practices, may be seen as a government of death.
