Ajia also submitted that the issue of security challenges in the country should not be taken lightly.

‘We call on our leaders, both at the state and the federal levels, to govern with the fear of God and good conscience. The protection and well-being of the people should be their highest priority. 

Let us invest in our security forces, equip them with the necessary tools, and provide them with ample training and support. Only then can we truly ensure the safety and peace of our people.

To our esteemed leaders, we urge you to implement policies that will alleviate the suffering of our people. We understand the challenges and complexities of governance, but we implore you to always have the welfare of the citizens at heart. 

Focus on initiatives that will provide access to quality education, healthcare, affordable housing, and basic infrastructure. With this, you will be uplifting the lives of millions and leaving a legacy of positive change’ he said.

‘Our hearts go out to the people of Plateau and Kaduna states who have endured immense pain and loss due to acts of violence and insecurity. We stand in solidarity with you, and we call on the government to do everything within their power to bring swift justice to the perpetrators. 

Let us not allow such tragedies to become a recurring nightmare in our society. It is imperative that we address the root causes of these conflicts and work towards lasting peace and reconciliation.

We must never forget that the responsibility of safeguarding the lives and property of innocent citizens lies with the government. 

We must hold our leaders accountable and demand that they live up to their duties to protect us. We call upon the government to thoroughly investigate all cases of violence and bring those responsible to justice. It is only through their actions that we can restore faith in our government and ensure the safety of our communities’ he said.

The Ilorin-born politician urged Nigerians to be patient with our leaders, noting that changes usually take time. ‘Dear compatriots, let us exercise patience with our leaders. Change takes time, and the transformation we desire for our beloved country cannot be achieved overnight. We must have trust in the process and continue to play our parts as responsible citizens.  

Together, let us work towards building a nation that we can all be proud of, one that encapsulates the values of justice, unity, and prosperity’ Ajia submitted while  wishing  all Kwarans and other Nigerians a Happy New Year  and praying that this year will be filled with abundant blessings and limitless opportunities for growth-Team@orientactualmags.com
