A former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Olabode George, has lamented the rising insecurity level in the country, stating that the situation has gone beyond control.
George, a founding member of the nation’s main opposition party, stated this in an interview on Channels Television’s ‘Politics Today’ programme on Friday.
“The state of our nation has been completely in a shambolic situation, it is in perpetual despair and despondency.
“There is hunger in the land and there is anger in the land; the insecurity has gone beyond control,” he lamented.
George said after listening to President Bola Tinubu’s New Year speech, he (Tinubu) has a lot of work to do to alleviate the insecurity state in the country.
He also cautioned the President and a chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress, Olusegun Osoba, saying, “So when you look at all those things; we are all Nigerians and I listened to his (Tinubu) New Year speech and I also listened to what Chief Osoba said, this is not the time to play politics, it is our nation.”
