The House of Representatives has asked PresidentMuhammadu Buhari to appear before it and address Nigerians on the spate ofinsecurity across the country.
The Lower Chamber said failure by the President toexplain the issues raised by the legislative house would confirm the opinion ofNigerians that the administration had failed in its responsibility to protectlives and property.
This is part of the resolutions passed at theplenary when the lawmakers unanimously adopted a motion moved by Mark Gbillah.
The motion was entitled, ‘Resurgence of theincessant and annual massacre of innocent Nigerians across the country byalleged bandits and killer herdsmen, the gradual occupation of affected communitiesby these attackers and the lack of adequate rehabilitation and reliefmaterials.’
Adopting the motion, which was not debated, thelawmakers resolved to “request that the President and Commander-in-Chief of theArmed Forces to address the House and the entire nation within forty eight  hours.”
