Katsina Senator From Buhari’s District Says President Has Failed

Ahmad Babba Kaita, senator representing Katsina North, has condemned President Muhammadu Buhari over the crippling state of security in the country.

Speaking on the floor of the Senate on Tuesday, Kaita who hails from same senatorial district with the President, said Buhari has failed so far in providing security for Nigerians.

The senator’s comment was, however, in reaction to the recent attack and killing of farmers in Borno.

Kaita added that if urgent steps were not taken, insurgents might overrun the country.

“The time of truth has come. 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,” he said.

“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.”
