By our reporter|The Senate Minority Leader, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe on Wednesday claimed that nobody, including the newly appointed service chiefs, takes President Buhari serious on the issue of insecurity in the country.
Abaribe who stated this during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today, said, the President always makes a statement when something happens but the situation remains the same.
“Why would we take him (President Muhammadu Buhari) seriously? Just the day after he had said we would no longer accept all these kidnappings, this would be the last, they kidnapped the last day,” he said.
“And those people are still there; those innocent Nigerians are still in captivity up till now. He always makes a statement. Every time these things happen, nothing happens. So it is obvious nobody takes him seriously with that. Even the military chiefs, I don’t think they bother themselves.
“This is about the umpteenth time that we are hearing the President giving a marching order. Throughout the Buratai time as the Chief of Army Staff, he was always giving marching orders so he has given just another one.”
Nigeria has been experiencing a series of security threats ranging from terrorism, banditry, militancy, cultism among others in several parts of the country with Boko Haram insurgents attacking troops and bases while killing and kidnapping passengers on major highways in the northeast.
