The Leader of the Pan-Yoruba-Socio-Political group, Afenifere, Pa Ayo Adebanjo, has urged President Bola Tinubu to initiate a proactive measure against insecurity in Plateau State and across the nation
Adebanjo criticised the recent directives to service chiefs as inadequate response.
Adebanjo advocated this during a condolence visit to the Jos residence of late Chief Solomon Lar, a former governor of Plateau State and first national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party.
Expressing concern about the security challenges facing the country, Adebanjo cautioned against adopting the same approach as former President Muhammadu Buhari, describing it as mere “marching orders” which proved ineffective.
He said, “We want action from President Tinubu and not marching orders. Anybody who wants to impress Nigerians must go after those behind the killings. They must be arrested and prosecuted if he wants the problem to be solved.”
Accompanied by fellow Afenifere chieftains, Adebanjo lamented the lack of accountability during Buhari’s term, stating, “when Buhari was in office, we said he was behind those killing Nigerians.
“We said wanted action and not marching orders. In the end, nothing happened, no arrest even after our complaints.”
Adebanjo insisted that for President Tinubu to succeed in addressing the root of insecurity across the nation, those responsible for the killings must face legal consequences.

Highlighting the legacy of late Chief Solomon Lar and expressing his condolences to the victim families, Adebanjo urged the people of Plateau State to remain resilient in the face of adversity.
During his visit, Adebanjo met with the State governor, dignitaries, including the wife of the late Chief Solomon Lar, Prof Mary Lar, former minister of aviation, Samuel Mafuyai, former house of representatives member, Ben Lar among others
In gratitude for the visit, Prof Mary Lar, commended Adebanjo for his unwavering support and emphasize the importance of justice for lasting peace and unity in the country.
