Mohammed Monguno, senator representing Borno north, says any government that fails to guarantee the safety of its citizens does not deserve to remain in power.

Speaking to News Central in Maiduguri after a security meeting, Monguno, a member of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), said the gathering was convened to address the resurgence of Boko Haram attacks in Borno state.

“We decided to meet the security chiefs against the background of the resurgence of the Boko Haram insurgency in the nooks and crannies of the state,” the chief whip of the senate said.

“We decided to see them with a view to alerting them about the resurgence of the Boko Haram insurgency and also the need to deploy more men and resources back to the theatre that has been hitherto redeployed to the north-western part of the country.

“To be redeployed back to the theatre in the north-east and in particular in Borno state in order to combat the Boko Haram insurgency.”

The senator stated that security is the fundamental purpose of government.

“Security is the primacy of governance. The whole essence of government is to guarantee the peace, order, and good governance of its citizens, as well as protecting the lives and property of the people,” he said.

“That is the primary purpose of government.

“Any government that fails and or neglects to perform that primary duty of guaranteeing peace, order, and good governance, that government is not supposed to last a minute longer than absolutely necessary.”

He said all actors within the security architecture were brought together to brainstorm on restoring peace to Borno.

“So, it was against this background that we decided to bring together all actors in the security architecture under one roof with a view to bonding, cross-fertilising ideas,” Monguno added.

“For the purpose of ameliorating the security challenges that we have in our senatorial district, especially against the background of the fact that our senatorial district has been ravaged by the Boko Haram insurgency.”

Babagana Zulum, governor of Borno, recently expressed concern over the resurgence of Boko Haram attacks and kidnappings across the state.

Zulum spoke on April 8 at a high-level security meeting attended by military commanders, traditional rulers, and other stakeholders.

Did you say the same during Buhari's tenure

You are making your region insecure and want to be blaming the presidency. Are northerners not tired of killing themselves?

Hypocritical lots

Stop asking me dumbo question, I didn't direct my comments to you

This same man was quiet throughout Buhari's tenure. The lawmakers should fast track the state police bill which governor Zulum is against. He's not ready to take over security in his state, he just wants to be crying to the FG to clear the mess Kanuris created.

Escobar is only doing what he knows how to do best, steal, kill & destroy

These attacks are politically motivated/supported. PBAT for the past 2 years actually brought these attacks low,how come since coalition talks and 2027 is approaching the attacks started increasing nationwide to discredit the government.
They were worse under PMB and these Borno senators went on leave. The same thing they did to GEJ now another southern president.
PBAT is not GEJ.

Buhari was in government for 8 years and all hell was let loose. Now you have the guts to talk. The selective amnesia worrying you lots is really legendary.

Tinubu should rest. Asiyan president.

TINUBU SECURITY

SHETIMA ECONOMY

NIGERIA JAGAJAGA

The worst thing to have befallen this nation is not even the civil war. It is allowing APC founded by Ojota protesters to come to power

beasts that are against good life and living

Now you are confessing a different thing but even your demigod - Tinubu was blaming former president Jonathan for the self-inflicted insecurity down north? Karma does not forgives or forgets.

I support this 100%

Security is the primacy of governance.
The whole essence of government is to guarantee the peace, order, and good governance of its citizens, as well as protecting the lives and property of the people.

That is the primary purpose of government.

hypocrites.

borno was milk and honey for buharis 8 years?

But at least it’s certain,your agulu olodo stand no chance!

okp*lor eyes should fire himself from the job, and let deputy senate president take over for now. That one sef, might be useless, but just for the mean time.



okp*lor eyes is the most laziest leader on the globe. The lifetime idi*t, doesn't do anything meaningful, but he takes the most vacations than even the most hardworking leaders.

Disenfranchised:
But Buhari the yooruba former lover spent 8years in government.

Well sha nah una problem be that.

Why una no oppose Buhari and refuse him second term?

Oh, if you had done that, Tinubu would never have become president.

Hypocrisy.

Hypocrites why don't you Write Him directly Rather than Constituting Nuisance on here

Lol.

While this is in fact very correct, we should also always remember to call out the hypocrisy of the north on their double standards when speaking 'truth to power'. How many times did Sen Monguno remember to advise same to the Buhari government, or even his own state governor.

Two, Tinubu is in bed with the same France that intelligence authorities have repeatedly fingered as complicit in our Boko Haram and Sahel terrorism financing brouhaha. What were we expecting?

There is no hope for Nigeria as is. Something has to give.

They want us to pretend all is well in Nigeria.

It's a pity for a leader prefer to waste money and resources on silencing critics and propaganda rather than engaging in developmental projects and polices.

Nigerians don't deserve this kind of government.

These Northern politicians should be held responsible for all the atrocities of the insurgents. They refuse to have a common voice to deal ruthlessly with boko bandits and other religious fanatics
