The Emir of Yobe State, Alhaji Abubakar Suleiman, has warned that military operations alone cannot resolve the growing insecurity in Nigeria. Speaking on the challenges facing the country, he emphasized the need for a comprehensive approach that includes addressing poverty, injustice, and socio-economic factors (punchng.com).
The Emir highlighted that while security forces play a crucial role in combating violence, long-term solutions require tackling root causes of instability. He called for greater investment in education, employment, and governance to foster stability and reduce the appeal of extremist groups.
His remarks come amid rising tensions in the region, where attacks by armed groups have displaced thousands. The Emir urged leaders to prioritize development and social welfare as part of a broader strategy to restore peace.
The statement reflects growing concerns among local leaders about the limitations of a purely military response to Nigeria’s security crisis.
