The Issue Of Insecurity Is A Total Failure On The Part Of This Administration- Ikenna Modebelu.

The chief promoter of the South East Leadership and Development Initiative (SELDI), Ikenna Modebelu, spoke to newsmen in Enugu on the post-2023 general elections and stated that the issue of insecurity is a total failure on the part of this administration.

He said this in an interview with the Sunday Sun while asking, What is your honest assessment of the Buhari government as it ends on May 29?

According to him, on the issue of security, what used to be in the Northeast when Jonathan was there has metamorphosed into every part of the country. They now hijack trains, and if care is not taken, they may be shooting planes down very soon. Remember the last time the president wanted to go to Katsina from Abuja? It was rumoured that they had to go and settle because the terrorists seized vital equipment.

He further stated, When some leaders say that we are in a failed state, it does not mean that people will not be moving around, but it means that travelling from point A to point B is becoming difficult. When we were younger, we could take off from Enugu even at night by road to Lagos, and you could choose to drive yourself.

So, the issue of insecurity is a total failure on the part of this administration. In the economy, we have become the poverty capital of the world. In all the human development indices, Nigeria is at the bottom of them—the poverty index, the child mortality rate, and the economy—and is on its knees, he said.
