OPINION: Insecurity: The Social Contract and Discordant Voices, By Dakuku Peterside

This merry-go-round blame game and altercation by our governors are unnecessary at this point when insecurity has become perhaps the most significant impediment to our peaceful coexistence and development. It is very insouciant to play politics with our security challenges in the country.

All over the world, security constitutes a significant policy challenge to leaders, decision-makers, communities, and groups. This is so because the concept of security remains a complex phenomenon that, in most cases, requires not just countermeasures to deal with but concrete preventive and robust decisions to manage, to avoid the loss of lives and property.

In a related incident, the Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai, informed Nigerians about the lack of synergy among Northern states’ governors in the fight against insecurity. He said that the governors, himself inclusive, are frustrated, and almost helpless over the spate of killings and other criminal acts going on in the North. El-Rufai said, on “Politics Today”, a Channels Television programme, that, “I am frustrated in my state. Many governors are frustrated in their states.

This merry-go-round blame game and altercation by our governors are unnecessary at this point when insecurity has become perhaps the most significant impediment to our peaceful coexistence and development. It is very insouciant to play politics with our security challenges in the country. What Nigerians need at this point is a lasting solution to the security concerns that we face.

The governors should realise that as chief security officers of their state, they are entrusted with safeguarding everyone’s lives and property within the state’s borders, despite places of origin, ethnicity, or religion.
