The Senator representing Borno South Senatorial District, Ali Ndume, on Sunday questioned President Muhammadu Buhari’s handling of the country’s security challenges, IgbereTV reports
The senator, who featured in a Channels Television’s programme, Sunday Politics, described the security challenges as disturbing.
The lawmaker, however, commended the security agents for their efforts at rescuing the country from terrorists despite the difficult circumstances in which they operate.
He insisted that the Federal Government had failed to commit required resources into security
Ndume, therefore, asked the federal government to declare a state of emergency on security and welfare of Nigerians.
He said: “The security agents are doing what they can under the circumstances in which they find themselves. We’re not doing enough in terms of providing necessary equipment for security personnel.”
