The Global Visionaries for Change (GVC) is deeply distressed over the recent violent attacks on innocent citizens.
We feel the loss of lives as tragic, unacceptable, and a painful reminder of the urgent need to prioritise human life above all other interests.
GVC sympathises with the victims of the attacks, their families, and the affected communities.
We also pray for the repose of the souls of those who lost their lives and for the speedy recovery of those injured.
We stand in solidarity with all citizens whose peace and safety have been disrupted by these unfortunate incidents.
The organisation strongly advocates unity among citizens as a critical tool for protecting lives and safeguarding properties.
Insecurity thrives where division persists, and national safety can only be guaranteed when communities stand together against violence, fear, and criminality.
We at GVC emphasises that security is a collective responsibility and must not be unfairly placed solely on the shoulders of government.
While government has a constitutional duty to protect lives and property, citizens equally have an obligation to remain vigilant, law-abiding, and supportive of security agencies through timely information sharing and community cooperation.
The group further calls on Nigerians to rise above political, ethnic, and ideological differences in confronting insecurity.
GVC warns against exploiting tragic incidents as tools for political leverage or blackmail, stressing that lives matter more than partisan interests or propaganda.
In conclusion, Global Visionaries for Change urges every citizen to collaborate sincerely with government and security agencies to expose and stop the perpetrators of violence, insisting that collective action, unity of purpose, and mutual trust remain the most effective path toward lasting peace and security.
