Simply because he is brainless hence utterly clueless.

Perhaps this sophiscated zombie is talking in Benin Republic & not in Nigeria of today.God save you from your sai baba ignorance.

Senate on Wednesday, resolved to consider setting up a special funding for security agencies in the country.

The special funding will enable the agencies tackle the spate of killings, kidnapping as well as terrorism across the country.

The Senate President, Bukola Saraki disclosed this after the Senate resumed from a four-hour executive session with service chiefs.

Earlier, the Senate went into a closed door session with the Chief of Defence Staff, Abayomi Olonisakin; the Director-General of State Security Service, Lawan Daura and representatives of the Comptroller-General of Immigration, Inspector-General of Police and the Comptroller-General of Customs on the proliferation of dangerous arms, spate of killings and kidnappings by hoodlums across the country.

The Senate had on May 8, summoned all service chiefs over the matter. The invitation was sequel to deliberations on a motion titled “Proliferation of dangerous firearms in Nigeria”, sponsored by Suleiman Hunkuyi (APC, Kaduna North).

Mr Hunkuyi had called for the invitation of the service chiefs while lamenting the incessant killings in several parts of the country especially the crisis in Kaduna.

Overtime, Birnin-Gwari in Kaduna State and some villages in Maru Local Government of Zamfara State have become targets for bandits.

Armed bandits have not only killed and kidnapped residents of the villages but destroyed properties too.

On Sunday, about 87 citizens were abducted along Birnin-Gwari Road in Kaduna State by armed bandits who ambushed over 15 vehicles conveying them.

In his motion, Mr Hunkuyi stressed that ”tribal, communal, religious, and other sectarian clashes, including the farmers/herders crises, are now more devastating due to wrongful and easy acquisition of firearms in violation of due process”.

He had expressed worry that despite the killings in Benue, Kaduna, Kogi, Zamfara and other parts of Nigeria, since the start of the year, no solution had been found.

He also expressed disappointment that the various departments of government entrusted with the responsibility of checking and regulating the influx of firearms in Nigeria “have failed woefully in the discharge of this all important duty”.

The closed door session which began at about 12.25 pm and ended at 4.30 pm.

Upon resumption of plenary, Mr Saraki read out the Senate’s resolutions.

He said bills which will help tackle the killings and insurgencies in the country will be passed even as he called for coordination among the security agencies.

“The Senate in a closed committee of the whole, received briefs from the Chief of Defence Staff, the Director General of the Department of State Security Services, representatives of the Comptroller-General of Immigration, Inspector-General of Police, Comptroller-General of Customs on the proliferation of dangerous arms, spate of killings and kidnappings by hoodlums across the country.

“Thereafter, they answered questions from the senators bordering security, insurgence, terrorism, kidnapping and other talks on national security matters.

“On the whole, we decided directly that on our part, certain outstanding bills or protocols that needed to be given a fast-track, be addressed immediately to see that they can be passed as soon as possible in order to strengthen security architecture.

“Secondly, of course, we all observed the funding issue and also agreed that there must be special funding. So we gave them two weeks to present their own budget on this. We think this will go a long way to improve the security situation in the country. Our great concern also was the issue of coordination among the security agencies and on that, we’ll be looking on how to strengthen that aspect of insecurity through constitutional law passage.

“By and large, we all are committed to ensure that these unfortunate trends of killings are brought to end,” Mr Saraki said.

Mr Saraki who described the meeting with the service chiefs as a “useful deliberation”, urged his colleagues to play their roles, ”as the chiefs have promised to play their own roles”.

“I hope that over the next couple of weeks, we will begin to take action on some of these things that we are committed to,” he added.

Epic reply Reno!

“Leadership loses relevance where there is no peace and the people are running all over the place and are unable to find security."
Yet the VP & his clueless oga never deemed it a honour to resign having failed woefully in this regard.

"The committee said the construction work being done by Julius Berger was the early earth work which is in four stages and not the building of the bridge as the public was being made to believe..."

Yet APC government propaganda on this bridge will make one think that the bridge is being built by their own money & already on ground.Government of lies,deceit & propaganda.

So much power tussle in the APC.And so the state is getting set-countdown to the final implosion.The pic up there have said it all.

CilicMarin:
Perhaps, they are about to impeach him.

African Man doesn't resign for any reason, until death separates him from the "Hardwork".

Guess this also applies to Buhari?

Abacha & Buhari are all criminals.

Savage! Simply implying that Buhari is utterly useless.It's a pity he ever ruled Nigeria.

Timely advice!

RIP selfie!

Hmmm...the spirit of 'parallel government' as invoked by Rotimi Amaechi is still alive and running round the corridots of APC's power structure. They'd better get democrat Goodluck Jonathan to exorcize it.

Tarkwa Bay here I come. Guess there are facilities for lodging there

I guess this Akintola was alive back then during the Buhari/Idiagbon,Abiola/Babagana Kingibe era & in the present Buhari's government? Islamic fanatics like this are the problem of Nigeria.
He'll never be seen or heard contributing meaningfully to burning national issues.See as he look like BH terrorist.
