NAN reports that Bishop Adeyi-Robinson made this call on Saturday in Lafia in his sermon at the 2nd session of the 7th synod of the diocese.
He noted that the recent spate of kidnapping, banditry, terrorism and general insecurity in the country was worrisome and called for more drastic measures from the Federal Government to stem the tide.
According to him, the primary responsibility of the government is the security of lives and property of the citizenry and anything short of that was unacceptable.
“There is insecurity in the land and it is suggesting incapacity because in other climes when violent crimes are committed, perpetrators are arrested and brought to justice within a short period.
“However, here in Nigeria, people are kidnapped, ransom paid and they are released and we do not get to hear of further outcome regarding the arrest or prosecution of the offenders.
“We need to get feedbacks in order to build the confidence the people in the ability of the government to secure their lives and property,” he said.
On the political sphere, Adeyi-Robinson said Nigeria do not only need restructuring but a general overhauling of the system for development to thrive.
“Talking about overhaul, Nigerians need to take responsibility for their country so that we become more accountable to ourselves in order to demand for what is required to move the nation forward.
“This implies all hands being on deck; be it in the education sector, civil service, religious institution, our political system, in fact, both public and private sectors involvement is required for the overhaul.”
