Insecurity: Nigeria needs more prayers - Governor Fayemi

Following the recent security issues in the country, Ekiti State Governor, Kayode Fayemi, has said that Nigeria needs more prayers to tackle the heightened level of insecurity in the country.

Fayemi said on Tuesday, March 2, 2021, when he and some governors paid a visit to the Zamfara state governor, Bello Matawalle, after the recent abduction of 279 schoolgirls from the Government Girls Secondary School, Jangebe, Talatu-Mafara Local Government Area of Zamfara.

“I believe that Nigeria will be rid of this menace. We need more prayers, that is why I was also trying to encourage Mr Governor and our leaders to go for prayers first before we have this session because, yes it is work and prayer, but prayers will assist us in really reshaping the irrationality that has come upon us, where violence is seen as the solution to whatever problem that we have and violence never solves any problem.”

The country has recently been faced with several abduction and killings.

As a result of this, the president has ordered for stricter measures and in affected areas including the beefing up of security personnel.
