Akume stated that the President Bola Tinubu-led administration is doing everything within its power to ensure the security of lives and property, but stressed the need for external partnership.
“But the government is seriously committed to eradicating insecurity. We need support from our allies to be able to fight terrorists in the land”, he said.
He acknowledged the vote of confidence passed on the administration by the CBCN, which he described as a testament to the government’s efforts toward tackling insecurity and other national challenges.
Akume further noted that the present administration has been actively partnering with various stakeholders, including traditional leaders, businessmen, the private sector, political leaders, and religious leaders, in its effort to build a strong and virile Nigeria.
He urged the religious bodies to continue praying for the peace and prosperity of the country.
Speaking earlier, Kawas reaffirmed the body’s commitment to supporting the Tinubu administration in its quest to fight insecurity and confirmed that the CBCN had passed a vote of confidence in the administration.
