KEHINDE FAJOBI
All Progressives Congress, APC, Senator representing Niger East Senatorial District, Sani Musa has asked the National Security Adviser, Babagana Monguno to resign immediately.
Musa said that the security situation in the country had gone from bad to worse under the current administration.
Speaking to Channels Television on Sunday, the lawmaker said: “What proactive action has the NSA taken? We have to call a spade a spade. If I was the NSA in this country, I will tender my resignation because I have failed.
“When they [terrorists] are creating cells, you do not wait until when you are attacked before acting,” he added.
“The intelligence that is being shared is a pre-information given to you at a stage where these culprits have not concluded their plans and you neutralise them. For me, I believe that we need to restrategise.
“To say the issue of insecurity is disturbing is an understatement. Nigeria is a country that is evolving, and we have never seen it like this since after the civil war.
Musa lamented the inefficiency of the army compared to its hay days “We used to have armed forces that are reckoned with; they have fought wars in other countries in order to bring peace to those countries but today, the whole thing is different”.
Recall that the Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria, HURIWA, had asked President Muhammadu Buhari to sack the NSA and Minister of Defence, arrest and prosecute them as well.
HURIWA accused both men and the other service chiefs as saboteurs and working towards surrendering the country to terrorists.
