He said:

"The present administration met a very terrible security situation in the country which included the bombing of churches and mosques, schools and other public infrastructure.
"The security has improved to a level that bombings have stopped and the insurgents have been thrashed to cowardly attacks on soft spots."

The socio-political group expressed shock as to why Kukah has failed to commend the present administration in the area of security, especially in the rescue of some of the Chibok girls and all the Kankara boys from the captivity of terrorists.

Speaking further, the group asked security agencies to place Bishop Kukah on the security watch list and investigate his activities. The group warned Kukah to desist from playing politics on the pulpit.

The group accused Kukah of working for the interest of enemies of the country and sowing seeds of division at a time well-meaning Nigerians across regional, ethnic and religious divides are working and praying for peace in the country.

Meanwhile, the governor of Nasarawa, Abdullahi Sule, had called on President Muhammadu Buhari to solicit the help of the Chadian army.

During an interview on Sunday, December 27, Governor Sule revealed that the participation of the foreign soldiers in the battle against insurgents had been successful.
