Former Vice-president and the People Democratic Party's presidential candidate in the 2019 general election Atiku Abubarka has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to declare a state of emergency over the state of insecurity in the country, Insidenaija reports.

He said this after it was reported that bandits attacked a secondary school in Katsina and abducted about 600 students.

Atiku who stated this in a statement on Sunday, said that it was now obvious that the strategies being deployed by the government in tackling insecurity had failed and must be abandoned for better ones.

The Adamawa-born politician said the abduction of the students at the Government Science Secondary School, Kankara was a very unwelcome escalation of the worsening insecurity in the country.

Atiku condemned the abduction of the students in the strongest possible terms, and ympathised with the parents, the government and people of Katsina while praying for their safe return to their families.

The former Vice President called on security agencies in the country to immediately swing to action and rescue the missing students.

I therefore call on the Federal Government to immediately declare a state of emergency in states bedevilled by banditry and terrorism, for an offensive and decisive war on terror and insecurity,” Atiku said.

“For the avoidance of doubt, the emergency I call for should follow the steps prescribed by the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended), and case law, by leaving all democratically elected state and local government structures intact.

The rationale is quite simple: We cannot win the war on terror by continuing with the same strategies we have deployed over the last five years. That they have not worked is very glaring, with the Government Science Secondary School, Kankara incidence being the latest in a long line of proofs,” he added.

I don't think this is ideal.......


Rather not to give the Boko Haram a chance to flee from their hideout....The army should comb the environment and track them down.....



Our army aren't active anymore under a "waec-holder" general.......

God of zombies cant do anything.

I pray these insurgents look the way of omenka, helinius, manabbqgrills, illovedemmana and yarimo, just the way they re looking towards Buhari's people. They mustn't forget his supporters .


It will be unjust to forget Buhari's proud supporters

Declear state of emergency with what? Have you forgotten the news that broke last month about soldier wives paying vigilantes to secure baracks because almost all the men have been deployed?

The security system is seriously battered. No thanks to consistent looting and lip service

I don’t understand the army you’re referring to here. the cowards in uniform that only show force to unarmed civilians?.. please !!!, the earlier we understand that nigeria had gone to the dogs , the better for all of us to start finding ways of protecting ourselves.. this killers are on a serious blood sucking rampage and the clueless bastard with his cabinet is clearly supporting this Janjaaaweed movement

He is deaf he doesn’t hear anything

Please disregard the news saying 600 students are kidnapped, only just 599 students were kidnapped.

Note: the school has not been given clearance by security force to start operating.

Why state of emergency? We don't need that now, everyone shld go ahead with their day to day business, we just recovering from covid lockdown, EndSars protest nd now again u ar shouting state of emergency. To hell with those kidnapped shebi unna no wan get sense ni.

Nna u ppl should allow Jubril learn his Fulfude in peace. He has only 8days remaining in Kastina to prove MNK wrong.
There was no kidnap anywhere in the North. The North is the safest place to live and raise children.
The only problem there is the southern youths trying to corrupt them with social media.

Dear Jubril El Sudani, greet ur 150 barren cows for Lauretta Onochie

Lol... Birds of a feather.

Clowns!

G ...Who will declare it d vegetable in Aso Rock dat only cares about cows or who ...as 4 d North dey are d cause of their problems..to pity den tire me because dey will still come out to defend Bibi and say dey are safe...set they protested dat dey want SARS...their smSARS is not working ni ...one of dem will still come out to say no student was abducted

As 4 At ik u if u like give advice from now till 2023...u no go smell Aso Rock again

Atiku is not mentally stable to make any constructive argument. His desire for power for the sake of it has blinded him to reason.
