Some members of the House of Representatives have proposed that the National Assembly be shut down to force the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), to wake up to his responsibility of ensuring protection of life and property in Nigeria.

This is just as a lawmaker called for the resignation or sacking of the National Security Adviser, Maj.-Gen. Babagana Monguno, saying he should have been sacked along with the last set of service chiefs.

The House cut short its plenary on Thursday, following an extended debate on the growing insecurity in the country, during which emotions ran high in the chamber.

Items on the Order Paper for the day, which contains the agenda for each plenary, were stepped down after the lawmakers, mostly members of the ruling party, All Progressives Congress, spent over one hour criticising the Buhari-led regime and security agencies.


A member of the House, Shehu Balarabe, had moved a motion of urgent public importance on the killings in Kaduna.

The Majority Leader, Alhassan Ado-Doguwa, noted that he would use his “emotion-laden voice” to speak in his capacity as leader of the House and the “ambassador of the government on this floor.”

Ado-Doguwa said, “You can see how this chamber is thrown into disquiet and into an emotionally-disturbed manner. When you have a government in place, the major responsibility of that government, especially a democratic one which was elected by the people, is to ensure safety of lives and properties of its innocent citizens.

When things like this continue, and continue on a daily basis, those of us who are representatives of the government will become speechless. I have to repeat: we become speechless in the discharge of our duties here to defend actions by the government.

“This is an elected government under a popular democracy but we continue, day in day out…killings, massacre, banditry, armed robbery left, right, and centre. This is just a report of one local government area out of the 774 of the federation.”

The majority leader asked why several parts of Kaduna State have been under attack despite the existence of several military and paramilitary institutions and bases, “the highest number you can count in the northern part of the country,” in the state.

“The government, in this case, has to rise up to its responsibility and call a spade a spade,” he stated.

Ado-Doguwa pointed out that the National Assembly had always appropriated more funds for the security agencies, while relevant committees have been following up on the use of the funds in the implementation of the budget.

He said, “We are here for Nigerian people; we must speak for Nigerian people. We cannot sit down here, fold our arms and see our electorate – people who elected us into our respective offices – being killed by the day.”

The majority leader described the situation as an “institutional failure” and “regimented failure on the part of our security agencies because you have no cause to even excuse any one of them.”

Use legislative powers to cause the president to sit up to his constitutional responsibilities, these dumbass stooges preferred to shield and insulate the failure.

Then commence impeachment proceedings against the same utter failure of a president, they resort to diplomatic hide & seek game even begging a president for not living up to his responsibility. Now poo have hit the fan. Nigeria must happen to all of you.

What about the President who appointed the service chiefs? Why can't he be accountable by firing any lackadaisical head in demanding accountability from them if he himself is accountable?

Idiots. Highest joke of the century!

My thought

When it was GEJ, they all voted to impeach him over very irrelevant things. Now it's this docile maskwearing impostor, and they have suddenly lost their balls.
Shame on all of them...if the fulani oligarchy is bigger than them in that house, it's because they allowed it by collecting bribes and looking the other way.

Says a bunch of foolish people we chose to represent us.

Another words. they can't do any shit. they are all representing their pockets. insecurity matter nor be today e start. so of them paid ransom for their release. they should just continue representing their pockets and leave us alone. when they are out of govt, they will rush to USA like one man in Anambra state.

Very funny county. Buhari is the most incompetent president ever in Nigerian democracy but he is enjoining immunity because the North has the highest numbers of law makers both in the higher and lower Chambers. The Hunger trending in the Northern Nigeria now is second to none but they wouldn't mind voting Buhari if you bring him again because of deadly religious believe. North is already metamorphosing into doom because of what they created out of hatred for other region. Have you ever imagined the level of development Nigeria could have attained if the North is not part of her? Situation is already making all of us to open our eyes.

When they are serious, they will impeach buhari

Failed leaders & country

Too little too late...Buhari should have resigned or impeached since. On just "Security failure" alone he should have gone, not to mention 7 years of economic disaster.

Disband the useless national assembly...no benefits, total waste.

These bunch of overfed clowns!

Jokers! Don't pretend you care about Nigeria.

They kept quiet for many years and now that trains used by them and their ilk are being targeted, they’re showing concern. Bleep em.

Scrap house of assembly now.

The only way Nigeria would get better is if the leaders can love the people (the nation) more than they love power.
You see these men, from the president down to your LGA chairman ...they all love the power more.

It that not too late?
