Babafemi Ojudu, senator representing the Ekiti Central of Ekiti State has advised President Goodluck Jonathan to stop gallivanting around a country on fire. The Senator who decried the division of Nigeria along religious religious, urged the President to stop his visits to churches, sit tight and return the country to peace.
DAILY INDEPENDENT reported that addressing newsmen over the weekend, Ojudu said,"sitting back and watching this man carrying campaigns to the churches makes me scared. It is wrong because he is supposed to be a President over everybody in the country no matter the religion, but what we see is that he is politicising religion.
"Why would you go about subtly inciting a religion against the other? He should not be doing that particularly with all the problems we are having now. The President must take things more seriously than he is doing now. He is busy visiting states, visiting churches to campaign while Nigeria is burning.
"Let him sit down, work hard and ensure that this country is brought together. But the way it is going now, if this issue of insecurity is not arrested, then we are all in danger",Ojudu said.
Ojudu also faulted people who said the senate was too docile, "the Senate is not a security arm of government, we have played our part so far concerning the country’s challenges.
"We are doing whatever we could to ensure that Nigeria gets it right. We may not have done enough yet, but we will get there. Again the duty fully lies on the President of this country to take the bull by the horn.
"He has the responsibility as the Commander-in-Chief and has to enforce the law", Ojudu added.
