Nigerians are fast losing confidence in the country’s security system, House of Representatives Speaker Yakubu Dogara has said.
The Speaker said history would be hash to on present administration, if it fails to stop the violence and mass killings of innocent Nigerians.
Dogara, who was speaking at the resumption of plenary yesterday, noted that the achievement being recorded by the Buhari administration would not be remembered if the orgy violence and mass killings of innocent Nigerians continue unabated.
His words: “History will have a harsh verdict for us as a government, if we fail to live up to this responsibility and it won’t matter if we succeed in other areas.
“Unfortunately, the stark reality now is that our citizens are fast losing confidence in our security system.
“The stark reality now is that our citizens are fast losing confidence in our security system. This must not be the case. Before we ebb to the realm of anarchy, we must rise up as true representatives of the Nigerian people to salvage the situation and defend our hard-won democracy.”
According to Dogara, the unresolved issue of rampant killing of defenseless people, including innocent and vulnerable children and women, in various parts of the country, calls for a sober reflection and more concerted efforts by the National Assembly.
