The Jama’atu Izatil Bid’ah Wa’Iqamatus Sunnah (JIBWIS), a religious group, on Thursday urged the Federal Government to intensify efforts to tackle the lingering insecurity in parts of the country. This is contained in a Communique issued by the Secretary, Tafsir Committee of the group, Alhaji Yahya Abubakar, at the end of its Ramadan Preaching programme in Abuja. JIBWIS said no responsible government would fold its arms and watch the massacre of its defenceless citizens on a daily basis. “The government should demonstrate the spirit of justice, equity and fairness to its citizens as a panacea to the current security threats and challenges in the country.’’

It also advised the government to create more job opportunities for the teeming unemployed youths, who posed serious security threat to the nation. JIBWIS enjoined wealthy Muslims to give Zakat and other alms to the needy and vulnerable in the society to reduce hardship and poverty level in the society. It also called on politicians to have the fear of Allah and put the interest of the nation above personal interest for the nation to move forward. (NAN)
