The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, Thursday said internal security challenges threaten the very existence of the Nigerian state because they undermine public faith in the government’s ability to fulfil its fundamental obligation to protect the lives and property of citizens.
The Speaker also said the retreat should be an opportunity to critically assess the legislative role in ensuring a safe and secure country for the children. National security is generally understood to be the preserve of the executive arm of government. As a result, the general public and even the political class often do not know what the legislative role in national security is or ought to be.
“Key followers of the House would notice that security has been a very important part of our work. It’s part of our legislative agenda. When I came in, I visited three key states affected by insecurity. I went to Katsina, Borno and Zamfara. We now have in our process the means of alternative funding for the security agencies. I think we should have the roles of each security agencies clearly defined. It’s important that we understand the separation. Anything else relies on security.
Are u just realising it or u still have opposition mindset.
There was no faith in them .....when all u do is lie ....and thievery ......and that is what is killing this country ......the govt is annoyingly corrupt and insensitive to the plight of the masses .......ur govt is killing this country APC is killing this country
