Vice President Kashim Shettima has said that the security challenges bedevilling Nigeria require a united response, noting that violent attacks do not distinguish between religion, ethnicity, or social status.
Shettima made the statement on Thursday at a high-level stakeholders’ meeting on regional development organised by the National Counter Terrorism Centre, Office of the National Security Adviser, in Abuja.
Represented by the Deputy Chief of Staff to the President, Ibrahim Hadejia, the Vice President maintained that when a weapon is used by those threatening the nation’s peace, it does not differentiate between individuals, farmers, or other civilians.
According to him, the present administration inherited significant security challenges on assumption of office, which have compelled it to adopt a coordinated approach focused not only on tackling current threats but also on ensuring long-term peace and stability.
“Every person or organisation in the business of governance must play a role in this grand mission of national restoration.
“A bullet or a bomb knows neither ethnicity nor religion. When it is fired by the enemies of our collective peace, it does not discriminate.
“It kills the farmer and the trader alike, and it destroys the very fabric of our multifaceted, multi-religious, and multi-ethnic society in a devastating and retrogressive manner,” he said.
