LAGOS – TRANSFORM Nigeria Movement,TNM, has called on Senate President, David Mark, to recall the Senate from recess, in order to address the growing rate of terrorism in the country.

It also lamented that the inability of President Goodluck Jonathan to name his cabinet and kick-start governance three weeks after his inauguration, has been attributed to the Senate going on recess barely a week after inauguration.

In a letter addressed to the Senate President, which was signed by Mr. Chuka Agu, TNM noted that recent upsurge in Boko Haram attacks should be treated as a matter of urgent national importance.

Only one particular area of Igboland was having problems and that was Aba. The North is going up in flames and a state of emergency should have been called when the violence in Jos was occurring.

It doesn't matter if it is just a ward,a state or region,state of emergency is applicable where the central government seems to have lost control of such place.size is not an issue.
