A senator elected on the All Progressives Congress (APC), Sani Musa, on Sunday called on Mr Babagana Monguno to resign as the National Security Adviser (NSA).<\/p>\n
Senator Musa who hails from Niger \u2013 one of the worst-hit states by terrorists\u2019 activities \u2013 decried the worsening security situation in the country.<\/p>\n
He believes Monguno, a retired major general and former Chief of Defence Intelligence, has no reason to remain as the nation\u2019s top security strategist with the continued killings of innocent people.<\/p>\n
Armed non-state actors, including bandits and terrorists, have scaled up activities recently, extending their operations to attacks on security apparatus such as the correctional facility in Abuja and some security formations.<\/p>\n
One of such is the attack on troops of the Presidential Guards Brigade which provides security for the seat of power and the nation\u2019s capital where some soldiers were reportedly killed.<\/p>\n
Amid the outcry over the deteriorating situation, Mr Monguno last week said the security agencies have adopted a new strategy to tackle the threat.<\/p>\n
But this is not enough for members of the opposition in the National Assembly who handed a two-week ultimatum to the President to resolve the nation\u2019s security challenges and threatened to commence impeachment proceedings against him should he fail to act as demanded.<\/p>\n
Although Senator Musa said the government collectively should not be blamed for the current situation, he admitted that it has gone from bad to worse.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo say the issue of insecurity is disturbing is an understatement, Nigeria is a country that is evolving, and we have never seen it like this since after the civil war,\u201d said the lawmaker.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe used to have armed forces that are reckoned; they have fought wars in other countries in order to bring peace to those countries but today, the whole thing is different.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
