Leave Igboho, Address Insecurity, Lopsided Appointments — Falana Tells FG

Human rights lawyer, Mr. Femi Falana (SAN), has advised the
Federal Government to stop trying to arrest Sunday Igboho, but
address the critical issues that are making Igboho’s message
resonate with the youths.

Falana said in a statement on Sunday that Muhammadu Buhari’s
regime should start by addressing the lopsided appointments, youth
unemployment and insecurity.

The activist wrote, “Instead of asking the police to arrest
Chief Sunday Adeyemo (aka Igboho) and possibly detain him, the
Federal Government should take urgent steps to address the
allegations of lopsided appointments and violent attacks on farmers
by armed herders.

“As a matter of urgency, the Buhari administration should
confront the worsening insecurity in the country. In particular,
the war on counter-insurgency should be extended to armed herders
and bandits.

“At the same time, the crises of youth unemployment and mass
poverty should be addressed without any further delay. The Federal
Government and state governments should implement pro-people’s
programmes to discourage Nigerians from campaigning for the
balkanisation of the country.”
