A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress and Borno State Senator, Ali Ndume, has said that President Buhari should address the nation on the matter of insecurity and not issue statements through his media advisers.
The Senator made the comment while responding to questions on Channels Television’s Politics Today.
Mr Ndume said;
“I’ve said it before,”
“When it comes to issues like these, it is the President himself that is supposed to be talking to Nigerians, not some press adviser.
“The President, of course, should be taking responsibility . . . he is the President. By the time you ask people to elect you as President, anything that happens to any Nigerian, God will hold you accountable you for it.”
Mr Ndume added that he was “really disappointed with the response of so many leaders.
“And it is our responsibility – of government – the security and welfare of its citizens. And you have leaders responding as if it is a casualty, not their responsibility.
“I feel pained to be called a Senator. I’m almost like helpless. Many of us are like that, sitting down as observers.”
Recall that terrorist on Wednesday attacked kuje prison in the Federal Capital Territory and released over 600 inmates.
