A former Osun State lawmaker, Mr Olatunbosun Oyintiloye has called on stakeholders in the country to set aside differences, rally behind President Bola Tinubu on a bid to defeat terrorism.
In a statement issued he issued in Osogbo on Sunday, he disclosed that the country is going through a time that everyone, irrespective of political or religious affiliations, should come together to support the President and join efforts to overcome the lingering security challenges facing the country.
The All Progressives Congress, APC, said that while the President and security agencies are doing their best to end violent crimes in the country, Nigerians must be united to defend their sovereignty.
While disclosing that the threat by President Donald Trump of the United States of America to deploy military forces to Nigeria over alleged killings of Christians should be a source of concern to every Nigerian, he said Nigerians should support President Bola Tinubu and service chiefs efforts to overcome lingering security concerns.
“We must come together and rally behind the President at this period. Our religious or political affiliations are irrelevant at this period; what we need is oneness and unity to protect the sovereignty of our dear country.
“This is not a time to play opposition politics. We must all come to the realization that all our hopes, aspirations, and dreams to get public offices rest squarely on the continued existence of Nigeria.
“Our current set of leaders will be there for a period of time and move on. But Nigerians must not walk into a trap that will make the country cease to exist. With the cooperation of all stakeholders, we have the capacity to end terrorism.
“Getting foreign support in terms of equipment will be good but not deployment of soldiers. It may complicate the situation and lead to a greater problem. The political, religious, and community leaders must be united in their resolve to protect the country.
“What Tinubu needs at this time is the support of all Nigerians,” Oyintiloye said
