The speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, has said Nigerians are dying as if the country has no security forces.

Mr Gbajabiamila stated this when he met security chiefs and the joint House Committees on ‎Defence, Army, Navy and Air Force at the National Assembly complex in Abuja on Wednesday.

The speaker who bemoaned the rate at which Nigerians were being killed daily said the recent rise in insecurity seems as if the country has no security forces.

He thereafter charged the service chiefs to take the battle to the hideouts of criminals making the country ungovernable.

“People are dying everyday, they are dying callously in ways that you can only find in countries without security forces,” the speaker said.

“Back home our constituents are on our necks, as a country, we must think outside the box, we must take the battle to these criminals whatever they are‎.

“As I said at the State House the other day, Nigerians are anxious, but I do understand the limitations of the Armed Forces.

“I thought I should be here to encourage everybody that we’re all on the same page. We all know the situation in Nigeria today, we can’t hide from it; we can’t shy away from it, we cannot pretend that it doesn’t exist,” Gbajabiamila added.

The speaker also promised to give whatever legislative support the security chiefs will need to nip insecurity bedeviling the nation in the bud.

Present at the meeting are: Chief of Defence Staff, General Abayomi Olonisakin; Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Tukur Buratai; Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas, and the Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar.

This is a Bombshell!
But unfortunately enough people are so economical with the truth in this part of the world.

Uncle tell them ooo.

But a step in right direction by the house you head will make me more proud of you pls.


security has never been this bad, could it be we are all tired of this false binding ?

Our leaders are funny. House Speaker Gbajabiamila sounds too pedestrian in this report. Too much playing to the gallery, and shifting responsibility to security agencies. Zero brainstorming on the solving the root-causes of criminality and banditry. Security of any country is the responsibility of not just the Executive but the also the lawmakers through SINCERE oversight and review of vital legislations. At present, there is still low sense of ALARM and URGENCY by National Assembly.

Really?? Intresting, so we even have a speaker for the House of Reps in this administration.
We are watching

Like you care.

Lip service. Anything short of state police is time wasting.

While at it, this country must decide to restructure fully along economic and goegraphical lines.

Let everyone go home and secure their zones fully

Why won't Nigerians be dying when you and your master are talking from the sides of your mouth.

The speaker who bemoaned the rate at which Nigerians were being killed daily said the recent rise in insecurity seems as if the country has no security forces.

“People are dying everyday, they are dying callously in ways that you can only find in countries without security forces,” the speaker said.

You already admitted that the current security situation seems as if the country has no security forces, what else is expected of Buhari and his tired service chiefs after all these years in the saddle, with little or nothing to show ?

I'm sure they are equally surprised, just like Buhari at the rising insecurity.

Bunch of misfits !
