Mismanagement of economy responsible for Insecurity, says Obaseki

He, however, urged Nigerians not to lose hope in the country, but to work collectively to ensure a better Nigeria.

He said this on Tuesday while receiving members of the South-South Zone Working Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party led by its National Vice Chairman, South-South, Chief Dan Orbih. According to him, “The way the ruling party has managed and mismanaged the economy of this country is the reason why we are having the level of insecurity that we are faced today. The lawlessness, indiscipline by the ruling party has brought us to where we are.

“We should not lose hope in Nigeria but focus on how to create confidence to give our people hope by managing the country well. The challenges of insecurity just show the dysfunctionality of our federal system. “We run a federation; we have three tiers of government: Federal, State and Local Governments. Why should security be exclusive to the federal level? What happened to the other two? Until we address that structural imbalance, we are not going to be able to deal with security at its core.”

frediecruze I love that the governors are talking to the president and FG. We must all not keep quiet. Opposition is also a part of the governed!

how well is GovernorObaseki managing the economy of Edo State? either Edo State ooo or Nigeria ooo, it is Leadership failure everywhere...

emmaikumeh On this one, I disagree with gov Obaseki. Bandits themselves said govt brought them to Nigeria and supplied them weapons. Anybody ignoring that statement but speculating climate change, economic mismanagement, etc as possible causes, insults our intelligence

Yes. I agree

See his face...

Lack of job opportunities and injustice is the cause of insecurity
