Nigerians have been urged to support the President Muhamadu Buhari administration in its efforts to tackle the scourge of corruption, insurgency and other social problems in the country.

The call was made by Kamil Olalekan, National President of the Companion.

Olalekan, in a statement signed on behalf of the group to commemorate Nigeria’s 61st independence anniversary, solicits the cooperation and support of all Nigerians toward fast-tracking development in the country.

The association noted with regret the level of rot and degeneration in social infrastructure and the myriad of challenges facing critical sectors including healthcare delivery, education, energy and the rising unemployment and crime wave in many parts of the country.

It also decried the monumental corruption in every stratum of the society.

It, however, advised Nigerians to, irrespective of ethnic, religious or political affiliations, assist the government in its efforts to fast-tracking the nation’s recovery drive.

The group added that Nigeria has a lot of potentials that can make it a better place to leave if the citizens shun corruption and other social vices.

It noted with concern, the hydra-headed challenges facing Nigeria as a nation including insurgency, banditry, economic doldrums and the secessionist
agitations among some ethnic groups.

“The Companion decries the age-long mutual suspicion and distrust that had dogged national affairs as they shape inter-ethnic relationship.

“The Association notes with regret the level of rot and degeneration in social infrastructures and the myriad of challenges facing critical sectors including healthcare delivery, education, energy (electricity) and the rising unemployment and crime wave in many parts of the country.

“The Companion earnestly charges the political elites to make service to humanity their watchword as their desperation precipitates violence in the polity, leading to loss of lives and destruction of properties.

“The Association advocates restoration of a value system with the leaders at all levels leading an exemplary life, for the youth to emulate in the overall interest of the nation”.

Riley Moore, a member of the United States House of Representatives from West Virginia’s 2nd District, has linked the absence of Christmas attacks in Nigeria this year to US military airstrikes carried out against Islamist militants on Christmas Day.

In a post on his official X account on Saturday, Moore contrasted the situation with the past two Christmas seasons, during which he claimed Christians were killed in attacks across parts of Nigeria.

The lawmaker noted that this year’s response targeted extremist groups instead of marking another period of violence.

He added that US forces acted decisively against militants in coordination with the Nigerian government.

“For the past two Christmases, Christians have been murdered in Nigeria. This year, thanks to @POTUS, Radical Islamic Terrorists were on the receiving end of 12 Tomahawk missiles as a present.

“The successful strikes on ISIS, in coordination with the Nigerian government, are just the first step to secure the country and end the slaughter of our brothers and sisters in Christ,” Moore wrote.

US President Donald Trump said on Thursday that American forces had conducted deadly strikes against Islamic State terrorists in north-western Nigeria.

Trump, who spoke via his Truth Social platform, warned that more attacks would follow if the militants continued killing Christians, adding that the Department of War executed numerous “perfect strikes.”
