Insecurity: What Speaker Gbajabiamila told service chiefs on Wednesday
Femi Gbajabiamila, Nigeria’s House of Representatives Speaker has told the service chiefs that the anxiety among Nigerians was enough reason for them to redouble their efforts in fighting banditry, kidnapping and insurgency in the country.
He said this at the meeting of the joint House Committees on Defence, Army, Navy and Air Force with the Chief of Defence Staff, Chief of Army Staff, Chief of Naval Staff and the Chief of Air Staff. “So, it was a natural reaction to what was going on in the country today. Back home, our constituents are on our necks. People are dying every day, they are dying callously in ways that you can only find in countries without security forces. But we know that you guys are doing a lot,” he said.
Gbajabiamila thanked the service chiefs, as well as men and women of the Armed Forces for doing their best and sacrificing their lives for the country.“My opening remarks on the floor of the House when we returned from break was to commend you guys, particularly the ones that are on the frontlines, sacrificing their lives every day, our men and women in uniform.
