Amaechi: FG lacks political will to address rising killings, kidnappings
Rotimi Amaechi, former governor of Rivers, says the federal government has failed to show political will in addressing the rising wave of killings, kidnappings and terrorist attacks across the country.
In a Facebook post, Amaechi, the immediate past minister of transportation, said the frequency and scale of recent assaults have weakened public trust in the government and emboldened terror groups.
He said the attacks on communities in Plateau, the abduction of secondary schoolgirls in Kebbi, the ambush of soldiers in Borno, which led to the killing of M. Uba, a brigadier general, the attack on a church in Kwara, and the kidnapping of Bobbo Paschal, a Catholic reverend father, in Kaduna, all within a week, were “too much to be ignored”.
