The Nigerian Senate on Tuesday called on Nigeria’s service chiefs to step aside, saying the country is grappling with security challenges.
The call followed a motion by Senator Mohammed Ali Ndume.
According to Ndume, the motion is sequel to recent ambush of soldiers in Katsina and the alleged voluntary resignation of many soldiers.
According to Ndume, both developments and others are worrying.
He explained that if the trend continues, there will be dire consequences for the country.
But despite his concerns about the security situation, Senator Ndume did not call for the dismissal of the service chiefs, neither did he demand that they should step aside.
The call for them to step aside was made following an additional prayer to his motion in the course of deliberations.
