The lawmaker representing Borno South Senatorial District, Ali Ndume, has appealed to President Bola Tinubu to declare a state of emergency on the nation’s security and economic sectors.
Ndume made this call on Friday during an interview on Channels Television, where he also criticised the President’s declaration of a state of emergency in Rivers State.
“Let the President forget about everything and concentrate on three things – security, welfare of citizens and the economy.
“His attention should go there as number 1, then he should create a state of emergency in those areas,” he stated.
While describing himself as a democrat, Ndume said Tinubu’s declaration of emergency in rule in Rivers was surprising.
According to him, the President acted in a wrong move by that action on March 18 following the protracted political crisis in the state.
“I feel that the President would have worked seriously on bringing them (and) solving the problem than (declaring a state of emergency). Call them, seat them down and say ‘go and sort your problem.
“How can you ignore the President? When he removed them now, did they ignore the removal”, queried Ndume
