The South-South Zonal Organizing Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Blessing Agbomhere, has called on Nigerian politicians to prioritise security and good governance, stating that the neglect of these critical areas has led to widespread unrest and inequality across the country.
In a press statement personally signed and made available to journalists, Agbomhere highlighted the urgent need for a renewed commitment to security and governance, describing them as essential for Nigeria’s sustainable development and progress.
He said, “As a concerned citizen and legal practitioner, I am dedicated to finding solutions to the challenges holding back development in my state and in Nigeria as a whole. Politicians must set aside partisan interests and focus on a common goal: building a safer, more prosperous nation for all. A unified approach by Nigeria’s leaders is essential to address the root causes of unrest and inequality.
“The future of Nigeria depends on our leaders making security and good governance non-negotiable priorities. Politicians must understand that without these fundamentals, Nigeria cannot achieve meaningful progress.”
Agbomhere encouraged leaders to take bold, decisive steps toward building a secure and thriving Nigeria.
According to Agbomhere, the failure to address these priorities has put Nigerian stability and growth at risk. His two forthcoming books, Nigeria’s National Security Challenges: Exploring the Human Security Solution and For Our Common Good, address core issues within Nigeria’s security landscape and provide actionable solutions for the nation’s challenges.
He emphasised that Nigeria’s current security crisis could be alleviated if politicians joined forces for the nation’s progress. His books outline practical measures such as strengthening institutions, promoting transparency, enhancing intelligence gathering, reducing economic inequality, and fostering inclusive growth. Agbomhere asserts that these steps are crucial for laying a stable foundation for Nigeria’s future.
The statement noted that the book launch, scheduled for November 11 in Benin, will gather key figures in security and governance, underscoring the importance of Agbomhere’s message in addressing Nigeria’s most pressing issues.
