ILORIN—Former National Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and chieftain of All Progressives Congress, APC, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola, weekend in Ilorin, Kwara State, advised the Federal Government to overhaul the nation’s security system to end the problem of insurgency in the country.

Oyinlola, who also was a former governor of Osun State, said this became imperative because it was now obvious that government’s approach in tackling terrorism was not working.

Onyinola, who was in Ilorin as Chairman, Screening Committee of APC aspirants in the North Central, for the forthcoming general elections, described the security situation in the country as appalling.

Lamenting last Friday’s bomb attacks on a mosque in Kano, which claimed over 150 lives, Oyinlola said government must adopt different approach to fighting the insurgency.

According to him, “The action is callous, inhuman and most embarrassing to the governance of this country. If my experience as a retired military man is anything to go by, my suggestion would have been total appraisal of the way we are handling the insurgency. I think what we have applied so far, seems not to be working, and if what we have applied is not working, then we must do something differently to get a different result”.
