APC Fed. Lawmaker calls for resignation of NSA, Monguno over worsening insecurity  

A federal lawmaker of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Sani Musa, demanded on Sunday for the resignation of the National Security Adviser (NSA), Babagana Monguno, sighting worsening insecurity in Nigeria.

Senator Musa, representing Niger East Senatorial District in the National Assembly on the platform of the APC, declared that the NSA, Monguno, a former Chief of Defence Intelligence, no longer has any reason to continue to supervise Nigeria’s security strategist or retain the National Security Adviser appointment to President Muhammadu Buhari, given the perennial killing of citizens, kidnapping, and destruction in several parts of the country. He asserted that the NSA has failed in performing his duties and no longer fit to remain in office.

Senator Musa  had declared:  “What proactive action has the NSA taken? We have to call a spade a spade. If I was the NSA in this country, I will tender my resignation because I have failed.

“When they are creating cells, you do not wait until when you are attacked before acting. The intelligence that is being shared is a pre-information given to you at a stage where these culprits have not concluded their plans and you neutralise them. For me, I believe that we need to restrategise.”

The APC Senator had maintained: “To say the issue of insecurity is disturbing is an understatement, Nigeria is a country that is evolving, and we have never seen it like this since after the civil war.

“We used to have armed forces that are reckoned; they have fought wars in other countries in order to bring peace to those countries but today, the whole thing is different.”
