Senator Abaribe, said it is now time to pick stones to stone them” in view of their obvious failure.
A debate on the worsening security situation in the country led to fireworks in the Senate on Wednesday. The session became rowdy following a call by the Minority Leader, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, on President Muhammadu Buhari to resign over his inability to safeguard the lives and property of Nigerians since 2015. The Senators were however divided on the necessity of adopting a state police model in the country. However, they were unanimous on the urgent needs for the President to sack the present Service Chiefs. Abaribe insisted that Buhari and the All Progressives Congress(APC) had told Nigerians during their electioneering campaigns to stone them if they fail to perform. He said: “it is now time to pick stones to stone them” in view of their obvious failure. Senate President Ahmad Lawan cut Abaribe short. He called on him and all those who were going to contribute to the debate to be apolitical. He said that bandits and Boko Haram insurgents do not operate on partisan grounds when
