Immediate-past Senate President, Bukola Saraki, says the worsening security in the country has overwhelmed the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), adding that the President and his All Progressives Congress regime needs urgent help and must seek such.<\/div>\n

Saraki, in a statement on Tuesday, lamented the multiple attacks on lives and properties in the country on Monday which claimed at least 15 cops and five soldiers, as well as the killing of abducted students of Greenfield University in Kaduna, adding that the situation \u201ccannot continue\u201d and \u201ccannot become Nigeria\u2019s new normal\u201d.<\/p>\n

The chieftain of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party said, \u201cIt is obvious that President Muhammadu Buhari and the All Progressives Congress government need help. They have been overwhelmed by the situation and they sure need assistance from all. Thus, I urge Mr. President to seek help wherever it can be given. This matter has gone beyond what the government can handle alone. The President should know that calling for help in our present situation is not a sign of weakness.\u201d<\/p>\n

Saraki, once again, advised the President to bring together all former Presidents and heads of state, serving and former chief justices, serving and former presiding officers of the National Assembly, serving and former heads of security agencies, traditional rulers with relevant experience, leaders of the private sector, development partners, friends of Nigeria in the international community and all others who can help in finding solutions to the problem at hand.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe meeting must hold expeditiously and must be followed by immediate actions. I know there are many people who believe that the fact that this suggestion is coming from a source outside the government is a good reason for the President to ignore it. I think the attitude this time around must be different. This is definitely not a time for partisanship or for people to play politics with the lives of the citizenry and the future of the country,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
