The Presidency on Monday cautioned Nigerians against politicizing the tragic death of Mrs. Funke Olakunri, who is the daughter of the Afenifere leader, Pa Reuben Fasoranti.
It also urged leaders in the country to consider their language over insecurity in the country.
The advice came the same day former President Olusegun Obasanjo came down hard on the current administration over insecurity.
But a statement by the Senior Special Assistant on Media and publicity, Garba Shehu, noted that insecurity is an issue that Nigeria must face together as one nation – united.
