The Aare Onakakanfo of Yorubaland, Gani Adams, has expressed deep frustration over the lack of response from South-West governors to his repeated calls for a collaborative approach to tackle rising insecurity in the region.
Adams revealed that he had written formal letters to the governors urging them to work together on security matters, stressing that a united front was essential to address the growing challenges.
“I have written to South West governors calling for collaboration on security issues; all hands must be on deck to address this ugly situation, but for the past two years, they did not reply me,” he said during an appearance on Channels Television.
