Yahaya Bello’s Security Template Recommend by Kwara Leaders

Governors in Nigeria have been urged by prominent clerics, religious leaders, and eminent sons and daughters of the Ilorin Emirate in Kwara State to adopt the strategy used by Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State in combating insecurity in his state for the country as a whole.

This call came during a special prayer for the nation and a symposium against insecurity convened by religious leaders in Ilorin, Nigeria’s ancient capital.

The theme of the conference was “Rise Against Insecurity in Nigeria” (RAIN).
The prayer for the country, according to Dr. Mohammed Gambari of the University of Ilorin’s Department of Religious Studies, was part of the activities commemorating the country’s independence.

He stated that the fight could not be left solely in the hands of state governments or the federal government and that everyone must work together to free Nigeria from the grip of “aliens who have turned into blood-sucking demons.”

“Together, we must make Nigeria better for our unborn generations to live quality lives,” he adds.
“In this regard, we, sons and daughters of Ilorin Emirate, want to single out the Governor of Kogi State, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, for the strategy of involving all indigenes in the fight against insecurity, keeping youths busy with worthwhile jobs, and making the task of securing the state everybody’s business,” the Ilorin sons and daughters said. Other governors, particularly those in the north, should follow in his footsteps.

“We can play politics, but when it comes to the security of lives and property, we must rally behind those who are getting it right and learn from them so that we can improve our domains rather than engage in acts of sabotage.

Because Kogi State was created from the old Kwara State, we can proudly say that Bello is one of our beloved sons with whom we take great pride. Despite the fact that the state is bordered by ten states, there has been relative peace since the assumption of this young governor, calm enough to make it the safest state in the north, if not Nigeria.”

Dr. Hadi Mashood Atanda, Director, Academic Planning, Kwara State College of Education, Ilorin, who spoke as a guest speaker, said that a leader like Gov. Bello should be given a chance to lead the country in 2023.
He claimed that in his current position, he had demonstrated his ability to lead Nigeria effectively.
He said it was no longer in anyone’s interest to stand by and watch as the blood was spilled on a daily basis in the name of terrorism, banditry, kidnapping, and other forms of crime and criminality that had almost become the norm in Nigeria.

The religious leaders urged all Ilorin descendants, Kwarans, and Nigerians to unite against insecurity in the country and make criminals’ lives unbearable.
“In the interest of all Nigerians, we also call on politicians and governments at all levels to refrain from politicizing the issue of insecurity,” they added.

Chief Adebayo Salami, a top Nollywood actor and Ilorin native, spoke at the event and agreed with everything that had been said, adding that the program was necessary at this time due to rising insecurity.
He urged everyone to take up the fight against insecurity as a personal mission.
Imam Sulaiman Al-Gambari, the Imam Gambari of Ilorin, led the nation’s prayer.
