A former President of the Senate, DAVID MARK, has urged the President BOLA TINUBU-led administration to consider a review of the country’s security architecture to make it more proactive and strategic towards addressing challenges.
Senator MARK, according to a statement by his media adviser, PAUL MUMEH, said there is an urgent need to declare an emergency on security.
He added that a review would identify the loopholes and devise a means to end the bloodshed.
He said the Plateau state incidents in which scores of citizens were needlessly massacred should be a wake-up call that the security challenge needs urgent attention.
He urged the government and security agencies to do more, saying that life has become so cheap in Nigeria today as if people have lost their humanity in them.
The former two-term Senate President implored the government to collaborate with subnational governments in the task of ensuring peace and security in the country.
He commiserated with the government and people of Plateau state just as he suggested that residents should be alert and cooperate with security operatives to prevent reoccurrence.
Senator MARK also called for harmonious relationships between and among various ethnic and religious adherences in the country.
