Adeleye Kunle Reports.
Ali Ndume, a Borno State Senator and All Progressives Congress chieftain, has stated that President Muhammadu Buhari should address the nation directly on the issue of insecurity rather than issuing statements through his media advisers, TrackNews reports.
On Thursday, the Senator made the remark while responding to questions on Channels Television’s Politics Today.
“I’ve said it before,” Ndume pointed out. “When it comes to issues like these, the President should be talking to Nigerians, not some press adviser.”
“Of course, the President should take responsibility… he is the President.” God will hold you accountable for anything that happens to any Nigerian by the time you ask people to elect you as President.”
Ndume went on to say that he was “very disappointed with the response of so many leaders.”
“And it is our responsibility as a government to ensure the safety and well-being of its citizens.” And you have leaders who act as if it is a casualty and not their fault.
“It pains me to be called a Senator.” I feel almost helpless. Many of us are like that, sitting back and watching.”
