The Speaker who made the call on Tuesday while speaking during the plenary section advocated the adoption of new strategies to address the widespread insecurity ravaging the country.

Abbas, however, lamented that the security situation could threaten the stability of the nation.

• The Speaker subsequently called for new approaches to tackling the situation since the traditional method has failed to work.

He said, “The threats of insurgency are severely testing the peace and stability of our country, the rise in kidnapping for ransom and the unsettling unrest and crises across all the six geo-political zones. Families and communities have endured immense hardships, and our hearts go out to all those affected by these tumultuous events.”

“I implore the President not to shy away from making the tough decisions. If necessary, we must not hesitate to enact changes within our security apparatus, for the cost of inaction is far too great to bear.”
