Guber Aspirant Tasks Nigerians On National Security

A governorship aspirant in Ogun State, Hon. Jelili Kayode Amusan, has charged Nigerians  to take national security is a shared responsibility.

Amusan, who represented Abeokuta North/Odeda/Obafemi-Owode Federal Constituency between 2003 and 2011, urged his compatriots to remain vigilant, report suspicious activities and support security agencies rather than politicising or undermining their efforts.

He commended President Bola Tinubu’s commitment to tackling insecurity, highlighting the administration’s focus on strengthening coordination among security agencies, investing in equipment, and engaging communities directly.

Amusan, who is a leading member of the All Progressives Congress, said the government’s actions had already yielded visible results in critical areas.

“From my observation, President Bola Tinubu’s administration has shown commitment to tackling insecurity by strengthening coordination among the security agencies, investing in equipment and engaging communities more directly.

“We are beginning to see improvements in intelligence gathering and rapid response in some critical areas,” he said.

Amusan emphasised the complexity of addressing insecurity, noting there is no “quick-fix solution”, and that sustained collaboration is required.

He further said: “It requires sustained funding, consistent strategies and strong collaboration between the Federal Government, the states and local communities.

“What I appreciate is the political will being demonstrated, but we must continue refining strategies to ensure every Nigerian feels the impact.”

Amusan described the Yuletide as a sacred and significant season that embodies the enduring values of love, peace, humility, sacrifice and compassion with virtues that remain essential for personal growth, communal harmony and sustainable development in Ogun State and Nigeria at large.

According to him, Christmas serves as a profound reminder of the need for unity across religious, ethnic and political divides, urging citizens to recommit themselves to peaceful coexistence and collective responsibility.
