The House of Representatives has asked President Muhammadu Buhari to appear before it and address Nigerians on the spate of insecurity across the country.
The Lower Chamber said failure by the President to explain the issues raised by the legislative house would confirm the opinion of Nigerians that the administration had failed in its responsibility to protect lives and property.
This is part of the resolutions passed at the plenary when the lawmakers unanimously adopted a motion moved by Mark Gbillah.
The motion was entitled, ‘Resurgence of the incessant and annual massacre of innocent Nigerians across the country by alleged bandits and killer herdsmen, the gradual occupation of affected communities by these attackers and the lack of adequate rehabilitation and relief materials.’
Adopting the motion, which was not debated, the lawmakers resolved to “request that the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces to address the House and the entire nation within forty eight hours.”
