Suswam Calls for Unity Against Nigeria's Insecurity Threats

Gabriel Suswam, the former governor of Benue State, addressed the pressing issue of insecurity in Nigeria during a speech in Makurdi. He warned that the threat from Boko Haram, which originated in Borno State, has spread across the country, creating widespread concern.

Suswam acknowledged the complex security situation in the North Central region, including Benue State, and praised the efforts of the current governor, Hyacinth Alia. He noted that some measures taken to address insecurity may not be visible to the public due to confidentiality, as decisions often need to be made discreetly to prevent leaks.

Suswam urged Nigerians not to rely solely on government actions but to play an active role in safeguarding their communities, emphasizing that insecurity affects the lives of families and villages. He reflected on the longstanding relationship with the current governor, highlighting that their bond transcends party politics.
