Nigeria will survive insurgencies the way it survived past political upheavals, pandemics - Akpabio

Senate President Godswill Akpabio urged Nigerians to remain hopeful that the country will overcome current insurgencies, speaking at an interdenominational church service for Democracy Day. He noted that Nigeria has survived political upheavals, pandemics like Ebola and COVID-19, and seasons of despotism. Akpabio acknowledged President Tinubu's directive for a low-key observance due to ongoing insecurity, and shared his personal experience of the Nigerian Civil War to empathize with families suffering from kidnappings and violence. He called for prayers and the exposure of those sponsoring criminal acts.
