Nigerians Should Be Thankful Bombings Don’t Occur On Daily Basis, Says Femi Adesina

Femi Adesina, Presidential Spokesperson, has asked Nigerians to be thankful for the successes President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration has recorded in tackling the challenges of insecurity.

Speaking during an appearance on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics on Sunday, Adesina said there was once a time in the country when cases of bombings, kidnappings and other forms of insecurity occurred nearly on a daily basis.

He added that he believes even though work still needs to be done, there has been a huge improvement.

“Let’s be thankful for small mercies,” he urged Nigerians, adding that “there are challenges, but that is not the constant”.

The Presidential Spokesperson went on to appeal to Nigerians to continue to exercise patience with the Federal Government especiallu on issues of insecurity.

He said security is not something that a timeline can be put on, rather it is an ongoing issue that needs to constantly be reviewed.

“Patience must be elastic, it’s not something that you get to a point and say patience has run out. Patience must be a continuous thing,” he said.

“There are certain things in which you don’t have control of all the variables. If you don’t have all the variables, you don’t then begin to give timelines. And security is not one of those things that you will give a timeline to say by this time to this time, we will achieve this.

“All over the world, security is a continuous thing and even the most advanced countries, are still working at it.”
