STATE HOUSE PRESS RELEASE

WE MUST DO EVERYTHING WITHIN OUR POWERS TO END INSECURITY, PRESIDENT BUHARI TELLS NATIONAL ASSEMBLY MEMBERS

President Muhammadu Buhari says his administration is ready to use everything within its powers to end insecurity in the country and bring perpetrators of criminal activities to book.

The President, who spoke on Tuesday at a dinner with members of the National Assembly, held at the State House Conference Centre, Abuja, said ‘‘insecurity, manifesting as insurgencies, banditry, kidnapping and urban crime of all sorts is the single most difficult challenge we face today.’’

He expressed concern that insecurity had inhibited government’s ability to build infrastructure, provide the much needed social services to the people, and to attract investments that drive innovation, create industries, and provide jobs and create wealth.

‘‘Some of the people who perpetuate these various manifestations of insecurity do so for profit, others, in the name of discredited ideologies.

‘‘Whatever their motivations may be, their actions are an existential threat to our country.

‘‘In the circumstances, we must do everything within our power, without consideration of distractions, to put an end to their activities and bring them to book.

‘‘We cannot allow ourselves to be distracted from this objective, or waver in our commitment, and I am confident that together we will triumph in our present efforts,’’ he said.

President Buhari also used the occasion to hail the ninth National Assembly for discharging their legislative duties with maturity and competence, describing the legislature as ‘‘full partners in national development.’’

He particularly commended the minority parties in the legislature for their cooperation and support for Government programmes.

‘‘Our ability to govern in the best interests of the Nigerian people depends to a great deal on effective collaboration and partnership between the Legislature and the Executive.

‘‘The obligation to check and balance each other is not an invitation to conflict, and it should not be characterised by quarrelsome disagreement when consultation, engagements and compromise have proven time and again to be a more effective approach.

‘‘In the 9th Assembly, you have distinguished yourselves by your conduct in office, by the scale and quality of your legislative interventions, and by your capacity for engaging with the difficult questions facing the country with maturity and competence,’’ he said.

The President listed some legislative accomplishments of the ninth assembly ranging from returning of our budget cycle to January to December, the amendment of the Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA), the Nigeria Police Act, the Finance Act, the Deep Offshore Production Sharing Contract Act, amongst others.

Commending the leadership of the National Assembly under Senate President Ahmad Lawan and Speaker of the House of Representatives Femi Gbajabiamila for their dedication through challenging times, the President told the legislators:

‘‘You have also succeeded in overcoming the political and other obstacles that have, for two decades, inhibited the much-needed reforms of our Oil and Gas industry, resulting now in the passage of the Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB).

‘‘I congratulate you all, and thank you for your contributions to the difficult, yet necessary task of nation building.’’

The President noted that the executive and legislature came into office at a time of significant challenges for the country.

‘‘Overcoming these challenges require that we finally confront long ignored questions of economics, politics, law and history that are often at the root of our national problems.

‘‘This moment in history requires us to make hard choices, take difficult decisions and act with diligence and patriotism to ensure that our country can survive and thrive long after we have all left.

‘‘What this means in effect is that our jobs will not get any easier. However, the objectives we seek, and will work together to achieve, deserve our best efforts regardless the sacrifice,’’ he said.

As the second legislative year of the 9th Assembly has just come to an end, the President noted that it was appropriate to jointly review shared commitments, to identify what has been achieved, and what is still left undone.

‘‘This way, we can prioritise activities and allocate the resources necessary to ensure that in the lifetime of this Assembly, and of the administration, we can complete the work we have started, and leave behind a record of achievement that will stand all of us in good stead in the assessment of history,’’ he said.

The President said he looked forward to continued collaboration and partnership between the Executive and Legislative arms of government, working together to achieve a shared vision of a peaceful and prosperous country.

WE MUST DO EVERYTHING WITHIN OUR POWERS TO END INSECURITY, PRESIDENT BUHARI TELLS NATIONAL ASSEMBLY MEMBERS

All the sensible suggestions you were given, how many did you follow? Several solutions have been given to end or greatly minimize terrorism/insecurities including the use of technology and not paying bandits; buhari didn't listen.
Buhari is really wasting our time and resources. Eight years is almost up, yet buhari has not fulfilled any promise o......NONE
He's not solving issues, he's just making things worse. I wonder how the next President will cope.

Buhari knows what to do; he's just NOT doing it. Several people have said this, even his interviews show this. Bandits are kidnapping back to back and they're calling for ransom, yet you can't tell pantami to trace them with NIN.
You've not prosecuted/jailed any bandit. Sheik gunmi is freely walking, even with police escorts and he's giving money to bandits. So many people are cashing out on the insecurities, buhari claims to know them, yet he has done nothing, he didn't even reveal their names (I guess they're his northern brothers).
Buhari is ready to unleash officers and heavy machines on unarmed protesters, but can't provide similar services where the need is greater. Buhari is just not serious with his so called fight against insecurity.
He is seriously chasing shadows and has misplaced priorities.

He's now using Facebook, I expected him to use crowwe!

Talkie talkie. Buhari, Osibanjo,Lawan, Gbajabiamila, CBN Governor, Malami, COAS,IGP are bunch of failure.

Seconded

SARSCoV2:
God bless His Excellence, President Mohammadu Buhari (GCFR)

Amen.
God bless you and yours also.
God bless your parents for giving us a King like you.
You are blessed among millions.
Go and succeed!

GOD BLESS NIGERIA.

Nigeria will bless those that blesses and pray for her and for the her enemies that curse her daily, she will deal with them by herself!

We Rise!

The truth is, there is no glaring political will to stop the insecurity madness in the country..

Wait, Nigeria air force have mistook the Nigeria army officers for Boko Haram for how many times now, how about the unreported ones? Not even prosecution for the repeated Acclaimed mistook..

If there are wills, top Army general and Air force commanders should be languishing in jail by now..

You must do everything to end the calamity you brought upon Nigeria, Buhari.

Monkey talk

Yeye fowl!


Posterity will judge buari for deceiving Nigerians with CHANGE & NEXT LEVEL.

Buari deceitful & bigotry practices will be remembered in years to come.


All those who voted for buari will not escape the wrath of the gods.

You have also succeeded in overcoming the political and other obstacles that have, for two decades, inhibited the much-needed reforms of our Oil and Gas industry, resulting now in the passage of the Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB).

Truer words have never been spoken.
May it never be well with each and every politicians that looted, raped and stole from our National Treasury, no matter the political party they are.
Along with their evil supporters.
Evil end await them all.

You can't kill the tree of insecurity when the roots have not been destroyed. What are the roots:
1) Poverty
2) Hunger(this one is increasing like fuel price)
3) Unemployment
4) Poor educational system(It's worse than pandemic)
5) Favouritism towards a particular ethnic group

If am gainfully employed with basic amenities been provided. What will I carry guns for?

Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB didn’t see anything wrong in the Murder and beheading of Police, destruction of properties and treason and were even defending the murders. Can you now understand how deeply doomed they are?

Whoever that supports these murderers online or offline, will get whatever the victims of these bloody thirsty Terrorists got very soon

I'm waiting for Nnamdi Kanu to deny having anything to do with ESN IPOB because they are hypocrites and can deny anything that doesnt favour them.

One problem i have with APC Government is too much talk but less actions. Oga do something and stop talking . Bubu always go dumb when we need him to address the nation … dumb ass nigga.

You have the power to stop it, you just don’t want to. Let’s start from how the leader of ISWAP, the son of Yusuf escaped from prison.

Nigerians ain’t asking questions and that’s why the country has become very bad.

All governors of your states have been Igbo. None but Igbo has represented you in the National Assembly and all ministers from your states have been you. Is there a ministry in Nigeria which an Igbo man has not headed?

Whereas other Nigerians, especially northerners, find it difficult to own land or landed properties in the South East, major viable towns in both the North and South of the country have your brothers as major landowners. A lot of big businesses and the hospitality sector are Igbo-dominated as well.
Now, what position has Ndigbo not held? Even for the president, has every tribe produced one?

Recall that you produced the nation’s vice president just nine years after the civil war.
Considering these, one is wont to ask if there is another meaning to marginalisation, perhaps, that only you know.
Terrorism is the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, against civilians, in pursuing political aims. United States Department of State in 2003 defined terrorism as a premeditated, politically motivated violence perpetrated against non-combatant targets by sub-national groups or clandestine agents, intended to influence an audience.

Please check the attributes of terrorism and a terrorist, you will realise that those holding your states by the jugular are terrorists.

Simple. People complied with sit-at-home orders out of fear because non-compliance can invite death.
