Senator representing Kaduna
Central Senatorial district, Shehu Sani has said that incessant killings in the
last three months in the country was a manifestation that President Buhari was
losing grip of governance.
Speaking through Order 43 of
Senate rules, he blasted those he described as opportunists in the Villa to
tell Nigerians the truth that Buhari was failing in governing the nation.
The lawmaker lamented that Birnin
Gwari and Chikun local government areas in Kaduna state which borders Zamfara
State in North West, were part of his Senatorial district and have been under
siege in the last three months.
According to him, criminal
killings in those local governments have become a daily affais, saying that
there was need for permanent military base in the affected areas.
“Mr. President, distinguished
colleagues, some villages in Birnin Gwari and Chikun local government areas
have been sacked and villagers have relocated to the local government
headquarters in the last three months.”
“Two days ago, about 7 people
have been killed without media coverage and as you know, government only take
actions on killings that are widely publicised.”
“I am deeply concerned that
government is losing grip of the country as the country has become a theatre of
war.”
Sani wondered at how some
officials of government would attribute killings to ethnic and religious
sentiments, saying that something was fundamentally wrong, if Nigerians were
not able to blend after 100 years of amalgamation.
Reacting, Deputy Senate President,
Ike Ekweremadu said, said it was important for the issue of security to be
taken seriously by government.
He recalled that Senator Kabir
Marafa had raised a similar issue happening in Zamfara, saying something must
be done as soon as possible.
