“As a body, saddled with the responsibility to act in the interests of Nigerians, guaranteed in the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, we will also play our roles as CSOs, speaking against crimes of all kinds in present-day society.
“There is no simple way to solve insecurity challenges and bad governance in Nigeria when a few people in the country are playing dirty politics with over two hundred million Nigerians, yet, they want a sane society.
“Whatever has befallen Nigeria was created by these leaders and it’s high time they started dancing to the rhythm. Ínsėcürity will soon reach all the high and mighty in society; it’s just a matter of time.”
