Decrying the security situation, the leader of the caucus, Kingsley Chinda, who is the minority leader of the House, said the lawmakers will sensitise Nigerians to defend themselves if the government fails to fix security after three months.
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) caucus in the House of Representatives has given President Bola Tinubu’s administration three months to improve the security situation in the country.
Decrying the security situation, the leader of the caucus, Kingsley Chinda, who is the minority leader of the House, said the lawmakers will sensitise Nigerians to defend themselves if the government fails to fix security after three months.
Addressing journalists at the end of the meeting which ended in a deadlock regarding the agenda to declare support for the party's acting National Chairman, Ambassador Umar Damagun, Chinda said: “We X-rayed the security situation in our country and we resolved that we can no longer take this situation where Nigeria is today almost tagged as one life, one-minute silence."
He added, "The government is, therefore, called upon to immediately take steps to ensure that the security situation in the country is normalised and the caucus has also given a three-month ultimatum for the government to normalise the security situation in our country.”
