Shehu Sani, former Kaduna Central
Senator, has charged the President Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government to
stop giving excuses over the spate of insecurity in Nigeria.
Sani gave the charge while
recounting one of Buhari-led All Progressives Congress, APC, campaign manifesto
in 2015 which was to proffer solution to the country’s security challenges.
The former lawmaker stated that
Nigerians voted the Buhari government on the promises that they would perform
“miracles” in the area of insecurity, hence they should stop giving excuses.
In a tweet, Sani wrote: “Insecurity
was the major factor used for the ejection of the past administration and the
most attractive reasons for the installation of the present one; Those who
promised to perform instant miracles should not deny or give excuses of not
having the magic wand.”
The lawmaker’s call is coming at a
time Boko Haram terrorists are on rampage in the Northeast while kidnappers are
gradually taking over the country.
A few weeks ago, Boko Haram had
attacked a settlement, Auno near Maiduguri in Borno State, and left about 30
people dead.
Following the attack, Buhari paid a
sympathy visit to Maiduguri, shortly after which the insurgents attacked again.
The President during the visit had
wondered how Boko Haram members survive.
On Friday, the leader of the sect,
Abubakar Shekau had threatened Buhari not to return to Borno State again
because his members are fully on ground.
