Ndume, who is the Chairman, Senate Committee on Army, said the country is on a dangerous “brink.”
He urged citizens to match faith with action on ensuring an urgent improvement in the security situation.
“The fundamental thing that keeps the country going is security and welfare of the citizens. That’s why our constitution clearly states that the purpose of government is security and welfare of the citizens. You know these two key things are now under threat in Nigeria,” the lawmaker said.
Ndume, however, stated that the solution to the country’s challenges lies with individual determination to bring about the needed change.
