Insecurity: Buhari Government Has Failed -Senate

Abiodun Olujimi, a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) senator, has expressed displeasure with the way the federal government is handling insecurity.

Oluimi spoke at plenary after Bello Mandiya, senator representing Katsina south, and Abu Kyari, senator representing Borno north, sponsored separate motions on Tuesday.

While Mandiya drew the attention of his colleagues to the abduction of over 300 boys at a secondary school in Kankara, Katsina, Kyari spoke on the brewing humanitarian crisis as a result of Boko Haram activities in the north-east.

Speaking on the abduction of the boys, Olujimi, who represents Ekiti south, said the office of the president is not an award but a call to duty.

“This government has failed us and there is no doubt about that. The presidency is not an award, it is a call to duty, a man should be dutiful to when the bulk stops at his table. The bulk, as far as security is concerned, stops squarely on the table of Mr President,” she said.

“Nobody is talking to us, we are just there as if we are talking rubbish. How many resolutions have gone out? Several, none of them has been handled. How many resolutions did we take on #EndSARS? None has been tackled.

“And you (Lawan) are saying it is our business, well it is the business of the president and this government. Because it is our government and our Nigeria, this government has failed us. We must get and do something, 333 boys that is the future of Nigeria.”
