The Custodian April 19, 2014
The
Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs, NSCIA, has stated that the
federal government was unserious in its fight against insecurity in the
country.
NSCIA
said this via statement in reaction to bomb blast in Nyanya, Abuja.
Signed
by its Media Committee Chairman, Alhaji Femi Abbas, the body noted that
although, today’s precarious experience is not peculiar to Nigeria alone,
others were very serious in tackling such situation.
We have a three-tier government to which the citizenry looks for protection and
necessary provision of social amenities. Yet, the feeling of sense of security
looks alien to an average Nigerian.
“For
how long will these lamentations and condemnations continue?,” the NSCIA asked.
It said it was strange for a country like Nigeria, which claims to be
civilised, to continue to apply an 18th Century solution to a 21st Century
problem, yet expect a deserving result.
Abbass
stated that there was enough evidence to show that the same strategy used in
the past three years has become obsolete for the problem of the moment, hence
the need for change of tactics.
“It
is like treating the effect of an ailment while ignoring its cause. What
Nigeria seems to have been doing in the past three years is like scratching a
monster on the head,” NSCIA noted.
