Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has urged the Federal Government to sustain the on-going fight against the insurgents and other crimes in the country.
Obasanjo made the remarks while presenting a paper at a two-day workshop on ‘Preventing Violent Extremism in Nigeria’, in Abuja.He urged the political class and the government to strengthen democracy by delivering its dividends to Nigerians, saying that it would go a long way in combating violent extremism or any group thinking of disturbing the peace of the country.
The former president said violent extremism does not just spring up overnight but do come about due to lack of adequate communication between the ruled and the rulers.
Obasanjo urged the Federal Government to intensify and sustain its on-going efforts in tackling the activities of the insurgents and other crimes in the country.
The former president advised the Federal Government to, as matter of urgency, address some pressing issues in the country, especially the agitation of the Niger Delta as well as other agitators in the country.
