Speaking at the event, he explained that for over 11 years as a traditional ruler, he has participated in several discussions on Nigeria’s national security.

He pointed out that it is time for leaders to execute actions rather than mere talks.

“In the last one and a half months, we have had three serious gatherings like this with the highest security echelons, leaderships in the country.

“Today, we are here once again to talk on the same issues of national security. I think enough of these talks, let us walk the talk.

“The more we sit here and talk, the more time we waste in taking real actions because we know the problems.”
