Former Head of State, Abdulsalami Abubakar has disclosed ways to defeat terrorists and end the war against insurgency in the North.

Abubakar said one of the ways to defeat the insurgents is through the collaboration between Nigerians living in the North and the security operatives fighting the criminals.

The elder statesman urged Nigerians to join hands in making sure that the military gets enough information needed to flush out the insurgents out of the country.

He noted that the security forces are overstretched, calling on the Federal Government to employ youths into the Nigerian military.

Abubakar made this known on Wednesday in Niger State during the 38th Founders Day and 30th convocation ceremony of the Federal University of Technology Minna.

He said: “We are facing a very hard time security-wise, where the war front is everywhere and this is a war without any morality. The old and the young are slaughtered without cause.

“Indeed, our security forces are overstretched. So it is left to all of us to join hands in making sure that we provide information where possible so that these insurgents could be chased out of our country.

Speaking on the 2023 general elections, the former leader advised politicians to be of good behaviour and conduct themselves in an orderly manner.

He also urged them to avoid using the youths as political thugs, while asking the youths to avoid being used to cause disharmony and violence in the country.

Avoid making our children, grandchildren as vanguards. Avoid abusing them and making them do what we know is wrong.

“For the youths, please avoid being used to be fronts of disharmony and violence in the country,” he said.
