Former Minister of Sports and Youths Development, Solomon Dalung, has lashed out at the All Progressives Congress, APC-led Federal Government over the surge in insecurity in Nigeria.
Featuring on Arise Television’s ‘Morning Show’ on Friday, Dalung said the government cannot track bandits in the forest but can pick anyone who criticizes them.
He was speaking on the spare of insecurity across the country, lamenting abductions of innocent Nigerians.
“They have all the gadgets to track anybody who criticizes the government. They can pick him up in the next five minutes, but they don’t have equipment to track terrorists who display huge funds in the forest.
“So I don’t know what unity the federal government is asking Nigerians against terrorism. Nigerians are determined to deal with terrorism, but government seems not to have the political will to deal with.
“The All Progressive Congress, APC, in all ramifications, seems not to have solution to the security challenges confronting this country, and it pained me so much.
“The Federal Government has completely and woefully failed, and they don’t seem to have any iota of solution to the ravaging insecurity that is across the country.
“In Plateau State now, it is not safe for you to travel on the highways, not because of the fear of terrorism, but you will run into a community that has been displaced by terrorists, and in anger they will take over the highways and begin to attack vehicles that look like those of leaders,” he said.
