Hon. Ndudi Elumelu, Minority Leader, House of Representatives.
The Minority Caucus of the House
of Representatives is alarmed by Thursday attack on the convoy of the Governor
of Borno State, Baba Gana Zulum by suspected bandits, insisting that the sad
incident has again reinforced the urgent need to review the nation’s security
architecture.
Minority Leader of the House of
Representatives, Hon. Ndudi Elumelu, in a statement on Friday urged the
presidency to implement the recent resolution of both chambers of the
National Assembly asking President Muhammadu Buhari to sack his Service Chiefs.
Hon Elumelu in the statement
also noted that the attack on the State Governor and other dastardly activities
of the insurgents in various parts of the nation have further reinforced the
urgent need to inject new hands with fresh ideas to handle the nations
security architecture
“The worsening security
situation in the country under the current Service Chiefs has reached an
unbearable state to the extent that insurgents have the temerity to attack an
armed convoy of a state governor.
“This is more so with the
insistence by Governor Zulum of compromising of security system in the area,
allegedly creating opening to the attack; a position that validates the call
for immediate reorganizing of the nation’s security architecture.
“The entire nation is distressed
by the incessant mindless killing of our citizens and pillaging of defenseless
communities by insurgents, bandits and kidnappers, which have brought
indescribable agony, anguish and torment to innocent Nigerians.
“We the opposition lawmakers
hereby in the strongest terms restate the call to President Muhammadu Buhari to
honour the resolution of the National Assembly and immediately remove the
Service Chiefs and bring in new hands to effectively confront the security
challenges confronting our nation”, Hon. Ndudi Elumelu stated.
