Former
minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai,
Thursday asked President Goodluck Jonathan to stop lamenting over the
deteriorating security situation in the country, but to take appropriate
steps to tackle the menace.
El-Rufai
spoke with Vanguard correspondents in response to the lamentation by
Jonathan that Nigeria was passing through a challenging security phase
in its nationhood.
The President spoke at the grand finale of the 2013 Police Week celebrations at the Eagle Square, Abuja.
Jonathan
had noted, “This is quite a trying moment for this country in terms of
security. A number of our police officers have lost their lives while
serving their fatherland. We have challenges from the South to the North
and from the East to the West.”
