The Chairman, Senate Committee on Army, Senator Ali Ndume, on Friday insisted that insecurity in the country is reducing with the hope that it will completely be eliminated.
Ndume, representing Borno South constituency said this while fielding questions from newsmen after the turbaning of the All Progressives Congress national chairmanship aspirant, Malam Saliu Mustapha, as the new Turaki of Ilorin, today.
He said, ‘Insecurity is going down, it’s not eliminated. Normally, this kind of a thing is not something that you will just say it is all over.’
Ndume said that the federal government of Nigeria is doing well and doing its best to tackle the challenge of insecurity.
