Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Senator Ali Ndume of Borno South Senatorial District has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to start taking responsibilities and act like Commander-in-Chief over the terrorist attacks happening on a daily basis in almost every part of the country.<\/p>\n

According to him, it is the responsibility of the President to address Nigerians and not his advisers releasing statements after every attack.<\/p>\n

Featuring on Channels Television on Thursday evening, Ndume said he was totally disappointed with the response coming from political leaders who should be ordinarily responsible for the lives and well-being of Nigerians.<\/p>\n

Ndume said he feels pained to be called a Senator because most of them were almost helpless in the current situation and were like mere observers.<\/p>\n

Asked whose responsibility it is to brief Nigerians after such fatal attacks on citizens, Ndume said, \u201cthe service chiefs are there, the NSA is there and the President is there.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not a State matter but if it was in the State, the State Governors should be doing that. You see it happening everywhere. You see it happening everywhere.<\/p>\n

\u201cHonestly, we\u2019re in trouble. Don\u2019t take these things lightly. I\u2019m worried\u2026we should be talking about how to address this matter and what citizens need to do\u2026I\u2019m really disappointed with the response of so many leaders.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd it\u2019s our responsibility. The responsibility of the government is security and welfare of its citizens and then you have leaders responding as if it is a casual thing and not their responsibility.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is our responsibility. I feel pained to be called a Senator and almost like helpless- most of us are like that- sitting down as observers.\u201d<\/p>\n

On how he\u2019ll fix the current security situations, Ndume added, \u201cI\u2019ll call the security Chiefs to brief me properly, then I\u2019ll brief the nation on what is going on, sharing with them what needs to be shared without compromising the security situation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe President or whoever is in charge is supposed to sit some people down and get results, not just making statements. I\u2019ve said it before, when it comes to issues like this, it is the President who is supposed to be addressing Nigerians, not some advisers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe President should be taking responsibility. He is the President! You see, religiously, by the time you ask people to elect you as the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, anything that happens to any Nigerian, we\u2019ll hold you accountable for it \u201c<\/p>\n
