Northern senators meet over Nigeria’s acute insecurity
The Northern Senators Forum has met over Nigeria’s acute insecurity to proffer solutions to the nation’s protracted security crisis.
Aliyu Wamakko, (APC-Sokoto) Chairman of the Northern Senators Forum, called for lasting solutions to keep the country stable and united.
Mr Wamakko made the call while briefing journalists after the caucus’ closed-door session, held in Abuja on Wednesday.
He said, “We must continue to find more solutions that can be applied to the security challenges.
“Of course, there are many ways of finding a solution. I know we are using the security outfit very well, but there are other ways of finding lasting solutions to the challenges facing our country today.”
Mr Wamakko added, “We are concerned as Nigerians and as northerners.
“This country has to be as free as possible so that every Nigerian can move freely to do their normal businesses without any fear or security challenge.“
He noted that at resumption on June 22, the forum would hold another meeting to strengthen the decisions taken so far.
