The Emir of Potiskum has asserted that a solely military approach will not resolve Nigeria's ongoing security challenges. He emphasizes that lasting peace requires addressing the root causes of unrest, specifically poverty and injustice. The Emir called on Nigerian leaders to prioritize socio-economic development as a crucial component of security strategy. He believes that focusing exclusively on military operations neglects the underlying issues that fuel conflict. Addressing these societal problems, he argues, is essential to achieve sustainable stability. The traditional ruler’s statement highlights a growing consensus that a multi-faceted approach is needed to combat insecurity effectively within the nation. This includes economic empowerment and fair governance alongside security measures.
