A member of the house of representatives, Yusuf Gagdi has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to show leadership and rise to the task of protecting lives and property in the country.
According to the lawmaker, the strategies adopted by the Buhari administration have failed and cannot guarantee the safety of Nigerians.
This was contained in a letter addressed to the president by Gagdi, a lawmaker from Plateau state and member of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
“The issue of insecurity has reached a point where the current strategies being adopted by your administration have failed and are in no way adequate to guarantee safety,” the letter reads.

“As it is, they can no longer hold water in a cup let alone in a basket. The gaps are becoming wider by the day with serious concerns such as the plight of many school children still in the den of captives; brazen daylight attacks on communities and travellers which have become almost unabated; the recent shameful raid on the highly fortified Nigeria Defence Academy, (NDA) Kaduna; and the metropolitan attacks in Jos, Plateau state among others. All these have heightened fears of insecurity in Nigeria.
“The abysmal budgetary allocations and releases to the Armed forces and other security organisations leave less to be desired in transforming the law enforcement agencies towards becoming much more efficient and proactive in addressing insecurity challenges in the country”.
The lawmaker said the “amnesty to repentant Boko Haram fighters under Operation Safe Corridor policy even when many displaced Nigerians have not been adequately rehabilitated and reintegrated in their homeland is torturing to the psyche of many Nigerians”.
