Insecurity: Whoever Says Leaders Not Trying Enough is Mischievous – Nasarawa State Governor Abdullahi Sule
Nasarawa State Governor Abdullahi Sule has said that anyone who claims leaders do not care or are not doing enough to end insecurity is being mischievous.
The governor made the remark while responding to questions in an interview on Sunday Politics, a programme on Channels Television monitored by DAILY POST. He was speaking on the outcome of a meeting between Northern governors and monarchs held in Kaduna to address security issues.
He said: “This also shall come to pass, because it was mostly, if you look at it, mostly in the North East, you know, where Boko Haram was doing this, was doing that.
“Sometimes, they will just kidnap children to use them as shields against attacks and things like that. So now it has moved to the North West and to the North Central.
“Sometimes I get calls in the morning to say that everything was okay yesterday from the security agencies, or something happened last night. We are doing this and we got them released.
“Those are the kinds of things you go through every day as a leader. So anybody who says leaders don’t care, or leaders are not doing enough is mischievous.
“The Northern leaders are doing their best, the Federal Government is doing their best, and now we are saying we can even do more than what we have been doing.”
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has announced Morocco as winners of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
The CAF Appeal Board ruled in favour of Morocco, declaring that Senegal forfeited the AFCON final by walking off the field during the game.
Morocco were awarded a 3–0 walkover victory.
This decision upholds Morocco’s appeal following the chaotic events in the match.
DAILY POST recalls that the Senegal team briefly walked off the pitch in protest after a controversial penalty was awarded to Morocco late in regulation time.
They were called back to the field by their captain, Sadio Mané, and later won the game 1–0.
CAF determined that this action constituted a violation of Article 84, or the equivalent regulations concerning refusal to play or abandoning the field.
Under AFCON rules, a team that refuses to continue playing or leaves the field without authorization faces elimination and forfeiture of the match.
A total of three operatives of different security agencies in Anambra State collapsed during the inauguration of Anambra State Governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo, on Tuesday.
The incident happened during the parade at the Dr Alex Ekwueme Square in Awka.
The three operatives are one male police operative, another male operative of the Directorate of State Services (DSS) and a female operative of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC.
The police operative collapsed first, followed by the NSCDC operative, who slumped towards the end of the event and was later escorted to an ambulance, after she refused to be moved in a stretcher.
A source said the police operative was later resuscitated, but was still not stable, and was taken in an ambulance to Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University Teaching Hospital, Amaku Awka.
The collapse of the service officers was attributed to fatigue and the long period of parade under harsh sunny weather.
