“The Federal Government must shift away from its defensive approach of denying or downplaying allegations of mass killings of Nigerians.
“This persistent denial fails to reflect the sentiments of millions who live in perpetual fear and those who have suffered tremendously in the hands of insurgents.
“The government is aware of who is responsible for these killings. Instead of fixating on 2027, it should concentrate on ensuring the safety and survival of its citizens,” the cleric said.
