Nigeria Senator weeps, wants National Assembly shutdown as Nigeria’s security architecture cillapse
Senator Smart Adeyemi representing Kogi West in the National Assembly, has said that it will be better the National Assembly is shutdown and let all Senators go home than having National Assembly and watching Nigerians being killed by bandits, Fulani herdsmen and kidnappers.
Senator Adeyemi who was weeping while making his remarks on the fallout of the ongoing killings in Nigeria, said Nigeria needed to call for assistance from the foreign countries to help the country in the fight against the insecurity in the nation
Adeyemi said: “We cannot keep quiet any longer. It has come to the point we can no longer sleep with our two eyes closed. We are not free and our children are not free. The president must rise to the occasion. There is no nation that is so powerful that does not need the support of other nations.”
He told the Senators that the Nigerian security architecture has collapsed and failed and because it has failed, there is need for Nigeria to look up to foreign countries for support
He insisted that if Nigeria must survive, the nation’s security system cannot cope with what the nation is passing through at the moment. He said every part of the nation is bleeding. He added that from North to South nobody is safe and nobody can travel.
The Senator who defeated Dino Melaye to emerge Kogi West Senator, said: “I feel like shedding tears for a country where we all grew up. Today I cannot travel from Lagos to Kadina. The president must know that this is a bad time for Nigeria. We must look for foreign support to save this nation.”
He said Nigerians are being killed in North, East, West and South. We shod shutdown the National Assembly, let’s go home of we cannot save this nation. Our country is bleeding, people are on poverty people are hungry, there is no food and being killed in a parts of the country. Insecurity is threatening us. We cannot pretend. It’s better we shutdown because our people are dying everyday.”
