Speaking on the floor of the Senate on Tuesday, Kaita said the actions of President Muhammadu Buhari had failed to produce any result so far.
The senator
representing Katsina North in the Senate, Ahmad Babba Kaita, has condemned
recent attacks in various parts of the country.
Speaking on the floor
of the Senate on Tuesday, Kaita said the actions of President Muhammadu Buhari
had failed to produce any result so far.
He added that if
urgent steps were not taken, insurgents might overrun the country.
The lawmaker, who
represents Buhari’s senatorial district, said the military leaders must be
investigated and made to account for the massive funds they had been receiving
from the government to combat the insurgency.
“The time of truth has
come,” he said. “This situation is no longer acceptable to any Nigerian. We
can’t be mourning our citizens in and out every day. We can’t accept the
explanation from those who should do the right thing whenever there is an
attack. If the statement from Garba Shehu is authentic, that is very
irresponsible.
“You might be exposed
to information that other Nigerians and we do not have. Everybody is mourning the loss of citizens
who are innocently killed and who have gone into their farms despite the
challenging economic situation in this country and thereby losing their lives,
and somebody says it is because they did not take clearance. We don’t harvest
crops in one day; we harvest them overtime.
“We have to sit down
with the military and assess the situation in the Northeast. Something is wrong
here. If we allow this to go, we should be ready to have another attack soon.”
