The Buhari-led government is not directly responsible for the insecurity in the country, Kebbi senator, Bala Na’Allah, has said.
It is for this reason, he said, that every responsible Nigerian should assist the federal government in its fight against the menace.
The lawmaker made the statement shortly after a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa on Sunday.
He told journalists that he was on a “routine visit” to the president to discuss some issues of national importance.
His visit to the president comes days after the Senate, in a four-hour meeting, discussed insecurity in Nigeria with security chiefs.
It also comes weeks after the Senate resolved to send its leadership to meet with the president to seek ways of mitigating the security challenges bedevilling the country.
Mr Na’Allah did not say if his meeting was on behalf of the Senate.
He simply said he had a frank discussion with the president and assured Nigerians of the government’s commitment to boost security.
When asked the reason for the increasing cases of banditry across the country despite government’s efforts and investment in the fight against insecurity, the lawmaker said a society evolves with its own problems, depending on its structure.
