By Modupe Shodeinde
Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo has stated that the current challenges facing Nigeria, are only preparing the country for the future.
The Vice President, who spoke on Monday while receiving the Yakanaje Uke, (in Nasarawa State), Alhaji Ahmed Hassan, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, noted the country is facing security challenges and there is a need to reorganise its security architecture.
The Vice President’s Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Laolu Akande, on Tuesday, disclosed this in a statement titled ‘We are re-organising Nigeria’s security architecture – Osinbajo.’
The statement partly read, “I believe strongly that the reason why we are experiencing what we are going through today is because we are being prepared for the future.
“A future where we will take into account all of the problems because if we haven’t gone through the problems we are going through now, it will be difficult for us to appreciate the importance of fairness and justice, the importance of giving people a voice and a representation.”
Osinbajo said Nigeria was able to overcome the current security challenges confronting the nation and this was why the Federal Government is reorganising the entire security architecture in the country.
He added that, “There is no question at all that we are facing security challenges, but we are able to overcome them. The role of the leadership is to sit down to think through the problems
“This is a big country, so policing is very difficult. There is a need for us to reorganize our security architecture, which is what is going on now.
According to him, the reasons for the current divisions and conflicts in the country is because “people do not feel included in the management of affairs in their localities.”
