A chieftain of the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC), Mr. Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim, has said the current national security concerns hovering over the nation is more pressing than the 2023 elections.
In a statement by his media office in Abuja, Olawepo-Hashim said the political leadership of the country must not concentrate only on permutations on the 2023 elections to the detriment of urgent national security concerns.
“We must have a nation first before elections, and our people must be alive and safe first to be able to vote,” he said.
Expressing fear about the ominous signs across the country, the APC chieftain averred that “the Barbarians are at the gate of the capital, our republic is under threat, our tested ways of life pluralism, democracy, state secularism are about to be imperiled. The clock is ticking, time is running out, the forces of evil are set to take the capital”.
