Senator representing Niger east, Sabi Musa has asked the national security adviser (NSA), Babagana Monguno to resign over the rising insecurity in the country.
Musa criticised the NSA for not being the first to inform President Muhammadu Buhari of the threat by terrorists to kidnap him.
The senator spoke on Sunday in an interview with Channels Television.
Last weekend, a video clip wherein terrorists threatened to abduct Buhari and Kaduna state governor, Nasir El-rufai surfaced on social media.
Speaking on the development on Wednesday, el-Rufai had said the president was unaware of the threat before he discussed the matter with him.
Musa, said it is “self-indicting” that the president was not in the loop of the issue.
He said,“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.”
Speaking further on the rising insecurity, the Niger senator said he would have resigned if he was the NSA to the president, adding that security operatives always fail to act on intelligence reports.
