Kachia/Kagarko Federal Constituency , Kaduna, representative in the House of Representatives, Hon. Gabriel Saleh has lambasted President Muhammadu Buhari over his inaction on the wanton killings in Southern Kaduna.
Speaking during an interview on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily, Saleh said the Federal Government has failed Nigeria regretting that over 60 people have been killed in less than two weeks.
He says the people of the state have been displaced following the onslaught by suspected bandits and herdsmen.
“In my village which is called Jabon Tudu, there was a threat,” Saleh said. “Everyone left his house, for the past one week nobody is sleeping at home.
“So I feel the Federal Government has failed Nigeria. Our people are crying and suffering, over 60 people were killed in less than two weeks.”
While describing the assailants as terrorists, he wondered why they will just attack innocent people and kill them just like that.
The lawmaker, therefore, called on the Federal Government to deploy security personnel to the affected area in order to forestall future attacks.
He recalled that the House of Representatives passed a resolution that mandated President Muhammadu Buhari to sack the nation’s service chiefs over the deteriorating state of insecurity in several parts of Nigeria.
Speaking further, Saleh said Nigerians voted President Buhari in 2015 because he promised to tackle the numerous security challenges at the time.
He noted that while Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum will openly lament the spate of insecurity in the state, Zamfara, Katsina and Kaduna states are not being spared.
