Majority leader of the house of representatives, Al Hassan Ado Doguwa has said that President Muhammadu Buhari has done his best to protect lives and property.
The lawmaker further argued that Buhari cannot be singlehandedly blamed for the nation’s security troubles since the issue of security remains a collective responsibility.
Doguwa spoke on Sunday at an event organized by the Kano State government.
“The security situation that we face in our country today should be a collective responsibility,” he said.
“There is no issue of blames trading — trading of blames. It is not Buhari. It is our own country.
“We have every entitlement to claim the indigeneship of this country and we are proud Nigerians.
“Only if everyone can bring their hands on deck and until everyone will be on the same page with the security apparatus and architecture of the federal republic of Nigeria, then we will continue to have problems.
“It is on this note that I want to say that the federal government under Muhammadu Buhari has, of course, been doing the best it could in terms of security the lives and property of the people.
“The budgets we attend to at every point in time — nobody there gets close to the appropriation of our security institutions.
” We call those areas a no-go area — don’t touch them.
“We have given sufficient funding to all security agencies.
“Mr president is always concerned, holding meetings, giving directives, giving instructions left right and centre all in the effort and commitment to keeping our homes safe to sleep in.”
