President Muhammadu Buhari has warned Catholic Bishop (CBCN) against creating panic among Nigerians through their accusation of government levity on security matters.

Naija News learnt that the president was disappointed by the statement released by the religious stakeholders in its biannual conference.

According to a communiqué released by the Bishops at the end of its biannual conference in Ekiti, the security status in the country has created a panic across the nation hence demanded concerted efforts by the highest level of government to find solutions.

However, the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Chief Femi Adesina who slammed the clerics on their statement said that the blame game was not the best way to go.

Adesina in a statement said: “Every rational voice is welcome in finding lasting solutions to challenges confronting the country, particularly killings by herdsmen, whether alleged or real.

“But in arriving at solutions, blame game is not the way to go. Accusing government of levity, when in fact all hands are on deck, worsens the situation, as it creates panic and fear among Nigerians, which is what the bishops incidentally also decried in their communiqué. “Nigeria has faced many challenges, and surmounted them all, by the grace of God, this too shall pass.”
