NSA Monguno must resign, says Senator Sani Musa

Senator Sani Musa has called for the resignation of Babagana Monguno, the National Security Adviser, for failing to inform President Muhammadu Buhari of the terrorists’ plan to abduct him.

The senator who represents Niger East in the National Assembly, stated this during an interview on Channels TV.

Terrorists had, in a video clip, threatened to kidnap the President and Governor Nasir El Rufai.

According to the senator, the NSA ought to be removed for failing to inform the president of the threat to his safety.

He claimed that without access to NSA intelligence reports, President Buhari will find it challenging to take action on security-related matters.

The senator declared that “that single act is enough for the NSA to be kicked out,” as his state is currently under heavy bandit attack.

“If it is true, going by the saying of Governor el-Rufai that the president was not aware, that singular act is enough for the NSA to be booted out.

“A country is bleeding and you will tell me that, as the helmsman to strategise how our security should be functioning, you are not aware of this and the president cannot be informed. It is self-indicting.

“We have to call a spade a spade. If I was the national security adviser in this country I would tender my resignation because I have failed. When they are creating cells, you don’t wait until when you are attacked then you will act.

“These intelligence are shared at a stage where the culprits have not concluded their motives and plans and you will neutralise them.

“So for me, I believe that we need to re-strategise and look at our demographic. If you go to Niger state, today, you will see a lot of IDPs, people have left their villages” he added.
