The Buhari-led government is not directly responsible for the insecurity in the country, Kebbi senator, Bala Na’Allah, has said.
It is for this reason, he said, that every responsible Nigerian should assist the federal government in its fight against the menace.

He told journalists that he was on a “routine visit” to the president to discuss some issues of national importance.

A member of the National Assembly, Senator Balla Ibn NaâAllah, has stressed that despite myriad of problems facing Nigeria, the country will remain one indivisible entity.
He also canvassed for the support of the citizenry towards governmentâs efforts to fight security challenges facing the country.
The chairman of the Senate Committee on Air Force, who spoke at the weekend with journalists after a visit to President Muhammadu Buhari at the State House in Abuja, emphasised that what was binding the country together was far greater than the one that can divide it
âWhether anybody likes it or not, the truth is that this country will remain one because the factors that bring the country together are stronger than the ones that seek to divide it, and I think that every responsible Nigerian should understand this and kowtow to it as well as make sure that he gives his or her own contribution to ensure that we have a very formidable and resilient country,
