The Senate Minority Leader, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, has
said nobody takes President Muhammadu Buhari seriously over his handling of
Nigeria’s insecurity challenges.
Abaribe said even the Security Chiefs do not take Buhari
seriously over the country’s challenges.
He made the remark in response to the marching order Buhari
gave to Security Chiefs to go after bandits and kidnappers.
The president had issued the directive before embarking on
his trip to the United Kingdom, UK, for medical check-up.
However, Abaribe while speaking on Channels Television’s
Politics Today, on Wednesday, said: “Why would we take President Muhammadu
Buhari seriously? Just the day after he had said we would no longer accept all
these kidnappings, this would be the last, they kidnapped the last day.
“And those people are still there; those innocent Nigerians
are still in captivity up till now. He always makes a statement. Every time
these things happen, nothing happens. So it is obvious nobody takes him
seriously with that. Even the military chiefs, I don’t think they bother
themselves.
“This is about the umpteenth time that we are hearing the
President giving a marching order. Throughout the Buratai time as the Chief of
Army Staff, he was always giving marching orders so he has given just another
one.”
Lately, Nigeria has been experiencing mass abduction by
bandits.
Students and residents have majorly been the targets of
these bandits.
States like Niger, Katsina, Kebbi and Kaduna States have
been the most hit by the kidnappers.
While students and residents abducted in other states have
been released, those of Kaduna are still in captivity.
Similarly, killer herdsmen have been on rampage in the
Southern part of the country.
