The All Progressive Grand Alliance has said the governors of the three states where a state of emergency was imposed by President Goodluck Jonathan should be held culpable for the insecurity problems in their states.
The party said the governors of these states, which are Borno (Kashim Shettima), Yobe (Ibrahim Geidam) and Adamawa (Murtala Nyako), should therefore be held responsible for the breakdown of law and order in their respective states.
Its national chairman, Victor Umeh, who spoke with journalists in Abuja on Friday, called on the President not to hesitate to introduce harsher measures to stem the ugly trend of insecurity in the northern part of the country if the situation persisted.
He said, “APGA commends and supports the President for declaring a state of emergency in the most affected states of the country, namely Borno, Yobe and Adamawa.
“The President should not hesitate to introduce harsher measures to stem this ugly trend should the situation persist.”
