“Stop complaining from AC rooms, come out” – APC chieftain tells youths amid insecurity in Edo
The All-Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain, Blessing Agbomhere, has challenged youths in Edo State to confront kidnappers and bandits, as a video showed him walking inside a bush with a gun.
In the viral clip circulating on social media, Agbomhere appeared to be trekking through a thick bush, which he claimed was one of the places criminals usually hide.
While speaking in the video, he urged young people to stop complaining about insecurity from the comfort of their homes and instead come out to defend their communities.
“Instead of entering inside the bush to chase all the kidnappers out, many of them are sitting inside AC and complaining about insecurity.”
Holding what appeared to be a firearm, with security personnel beside him, the APC chieftain said he had decided to personally enter the bush to show that citizens must also take part in confronting criminals.
He insisted that insecurity cannot be solved if people continue to depend solely on security agencies without playing their own part.
“I am here inside the bush. If you say kidnappers are here, we should come out and face them. We cannot just sit down and be complaining.”
He concluded by saying the government cannot tackle insecurity alone, stressing that citizens must also take responsibility.
