This is not the best of times for Nigeria, especially in relation to issues of insecurity and the citizens must do all within their powers to unite and make the country liveable, Abdulsalami Abubakar, former head of state, has urged.
Abubakar made the call on Tuesday, January 21, in Kaduna state venue of an event organised by the Sir Ahmadu Bello memorial foundation.
According to Abubakar, Nigeria is currently at an unpleasant point in its existence as a result of security challenges.
He pleaded with the people to play roles that would help reduce or end insecurity in the country, part of which is to volunteer information when the need arises, and especially since those who carry out criminal activities live among the citizens.
He praised Sir Ahmadu Bello, then premier of the northern part of Nigeria, for all that he did while alive.
He said the late former premier, pioneered the clamour for peace and unity in Nigeria.
