The Speaker, Lagos State House of Assembly, Hon. Adeyemi Ikuforiji has called for concerted efforts by Nigerians to end the spate of bloodletting that is heating up the polity of the country.

Ikuforiji, in his Independence anniversary statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Rotimi Adebayo, declared: “As we Nigerians celebrate our 53rd anniversary as an independent country, the time has come for us all to join hands in order to save our country from imminent collapse.

“The persistent bombings and killings of innocent Nigerians in some parts of the North is an anomie that has been with us for a while. Though some drastic actions have been taken by the Federal Government, it appears that more stringent efforts by all are still urgently required to put an end to the unfortunate and sad situation.
