Hon. Olatunbosun Oyintiloye, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress in Osun state, has appealed to President Bola Tinubu to urgently tackle the recent upsurge in kidnapping and other insecurity challenges confronting the country.
The APC chieftain made the demand of President Tinubu when he spoke with newsmen on Sunday in Osogbo, the Osun State capital.
He said that the gains that the security agencies had recorded in the fight against insecurity under the present administration should not be allowed to slide away.
Oyintiloye, a member of the defunct APC Presidential Campaign Council, said that the recent upsurge in kidnapping across the country was now a source of concern to Nigerians.
While commending the President and the security agencies in the fight against insecurity in the country, he said that the recent wave of insecurity, especially kidnapping, needed urgent attention.
The APC chieftain also advocated for inter-agency collaboration to tackle the upsurge of kidnapping and other security challenges.
