Senator representing Southern Borno, and Chairman Senate Committee on Army, Mohammed Ndume has said that President Muhammadu Buhari should immediately reconstituted a new cabinet if he mean well for Nigerians in the 2021.
Although he said, Buhari is a good leader, but quite a number of his cabinet members are not doing enough to reposition the country to a better as enshrined in Buhari’s Agenda.
Senator Ndume stated this yesterday while interacting with Journalists at his residence in Maiduguri, the state capital.
He lamented that some serving ministers do not even get intouch with their own people at their respective states, not to even talk of knowing the predicaments of their people or electorate especially those at the grassroots.
His words, ” I am very much impressed with the 2020 National budget performance which stood at about 90% execution or implementation, this feat has never been achieved in the history of Nigeria or by any government in power.
“Unfortunately, the impact of the implemented budget has not been felt at most places, especially in the north east due to poor representation from our topmost political appointees at the federal level”. Ndume stated.
On the increasing insecurity and kidnapping which remained the order of the day across the country and the north east in particular, the Chairman Senate Committee on Army insisted that until the military were given sophisticated weapons, ending of Boko Haram and other criminalities would be far from over and unrealistic, despite promises made by President Buhari and the Service chiefs that the year 2021 would be free from attacks and other criminalities.
On Amnesty International faulting Nigerian Army killing innocent civilians or violating human rights during operations, Senator said, Amnesty International should desist from unsubstantiated claims, or sitting at the comfort of their offices and write rubbish against Nigerian Army, pointing out that, the best people to comment on killing innocent civilians or human right violations, if any should be resilient Journalists who have been covering the entire Borno or the north east since the beginning of the Boko Haram crisis, and not Foreign organizations like Amnesty International.
