Insecurity: Kebbi Governor Gives Army ₦‎500m Monthly For Operations – Senator by Islie: 5:42am On May 22
The senator said even though the military gets N500 million from the state government monthly, his senatorial district is still insecure.


The governor of Kebbi State, Nasir Idris, mobilises the military for surveillance operations with N500 million monthly.

The Senator representing Kebbi South Senatorial District, Garba Maidoki, disclosed this during the plenary on Tuesday.

Mr Maidoki, a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), made the remarks while contributing to a motion sponsored by Isah Jibrin (APC, Kogi East) on the need to rehabilitate communities ravaged by gunmen in Omala Local Government Area of Kogi State.

“My governor was telling us that every month, he spends N500 million on the Nigerian Army. Where is the money?,” the Kebbi senator queried.

The Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, asked if the senator had evidence showing that the Nigerian Army used to receive the money as claimed.

Mr Maidoki responded by saying that he is relying on what the governor of Kebbi State told him.

“Well, that was what he said. I am quoting the governor of Kebbi State” he added.

He, however, cautioned the military from relying solely on the finances of the state governors before mobilising troops for operation.

“I think if the Nigerian Army relies on the governors to give them money to mobilise for operation, I think, in this country, we are not making any headway”.


Lives under threat

Mr Maidoki also told the Senate that despite the monthly package paid to the Nigerian Army, many of the communities are still under siege by terrorists and the lives of the residents are threatened.

“Distinguished senator, my people from my senatorial district came to me during Sallah. Our lives are under threat. As a senator representing them, I told them to go and see the governor. They made a convoy and went to see the governor. Unfortunately, the governor was not on seat. They went back.

“A week later, they were attacked and 20 of them were killed and then we rushed to go and condole them,”
he narrated.


Military base

The senator noted that three communities prone to attack have been identified in his senatorial district but the military is not doing enough to stop the attacks despite the money allegedly given to them monthly.

“We agreed with the Nigeria security when we were here that certain places that are prone to attacks, they will establish front bases there. In my senatorial districts, they have identified three, they set up one. That one alone has reduced our banditry by more than 80 per cent.

“The remaining two, as I am talking to you, they have not established it and if we appropriate money to the Nigerian Army and they are telling us they cannot set up a base until the governor gives them money, I think we have a problem,”
Mr Maidoki said.

billions allocated for security operations yet they dont have money for operations and the priority of the minister of interior is registering private security services that provide only gate men services

The worst cretin to rule Nigeria is Thièfnubu. Does he feel compassionate about all what vulnerable Nigerians are going through?

Just yesterday, there was an attack that killed 40 Nigerians. I mean 40 Nigerians just like that and everyone and everywhere is quiet like nothing happened?

You don't even see the President on condolence visit to the affected people nor providing assurances and solutions through public engagements over this issues.


It's quite embarrassing.

Is giving military N500m monthly a legal act? I believe FG is the one responsible for that. You can't have a good security situation because giving some people as high as N500m monthly when you don't have to must have corrupted them. For that money to keep coming I would cause insecurity if I'm a major beneficiary of such money. Una don murder sleep

We are an unserious people in this nation.
Who in the military is he giving that amount of money monthly? He just succeeded in making sure the insecurity grows more in his State by that act.
I would rather find an independent security outfit like some of our former militant brothers in the Niger Delta pay them that money and see what they will achieve or call all those bandits and share that money amongst them and tell them to desist from such activities and maintain order within their domains.

That is corruption. The military involved should be sacked.

The security vote money allocated to governors is more like a miscellaneous money with no details attached to it. It's a kind of money spent on frivolities. No records, nothing backed by law and so corruption can't be said to be occurring.
