A member representing Kokona East constituency at the Nasarawa State House of Assembly,  Daniel Ogazi, has called for prayers and support for government and security agencies in order to win the war against insecurity in the country.

Mr Ogazi, the Chairman, House Committee on Rules and Business, stated this in his Easter message on Sunday in Garaku, Kokona Local Government Area of the state.

He said that security is the responsibility of all and there’s the need for collective efforts among Nigerians to end it.

Mr Ogazi urged the people to join hands with the government and security agencies as well as pray for our security  agents in the battle field to win the war against insecurity.

“People are quick to blame the government, President Bola Tinubu, Governor Abdullahi Sule, local government chairmen and other government officials cannot take guns by themselves to fight insecurity.

“I think government is working, doing its best, let’s join hands together with  government and security agencies to fight and end insecurity in the country.

” People should always report suspicious movement of persons or groups to appropriate authority for necessary action” he said.

Mr Ogazi while felicitating with Christians on Easter, admonished them and other Nigerians to continue to live together and embrace peace at all times.

He stated, “Jesus Christ died on the cross to salvage mankind. The resurrection of Jesus Christ has overcome death, poverty, criminality, envy and all forms of evil acts. I want to urge Christians and other Nigerians to imbibe the virtues of Lent and also assist the poor and less privileged ones in the society.”

Mr Ogazi urged politicians and other stakeholders to play politics in line with the provisions of the constitution and electoral act in the interest of peace and development of the country.

“Leadership comes from God. Politicians should allow people to decide whom they want based on their conscious. Politicians should accept people’s choice and no need to castigate and blackmail people in the name of politics” he said.

Mr Ogazi assured of continued effective and sound representation at the state legislature.

He called on the people to continue to support the APC-led administration at all levels to succeed.

On calls on him to contest for House of Representatives seat in 2027, Mr Ogazi said he would make his decision public at an appropriate time, saying that he is still consulting with his family, political associates, stakeholders and other well wishers.
