APC, PDP Senators Disagree Over Electronic Transmission Of Election Results

Nigerian Senate has stated that the nation’s insecurity report would be ready next week.

This was made known by the chairman of the Senate Ad-hoc Committee on Security Challenges, Sen. Yahaya Abdullahi (APC- Kebbi, who requested a week extension to enable the panel to conclude work.

According to Abdullahi, the more time needed was for further interaction with the Nigerian Police and the National Security Adviser (NSA) Babagana Munguno.

He said “We would have been able to conclude and lay the report today, but for the interventions that became necessary”,.

“When we had to consider some extra interaction with the NPF and also with the National Security Adviser, who as at the earlier time he came was out of the country and he only came back late.

“I seek the indulgence of my colleagues to please kindly extend the time for our presentation of this report to next week, I so plead,” Senate Leader said.

Reacting, Senate President Ahmad Lawan expressed satisfaction with the committee’s performance.

“You are putting a lot of hard work and plenty of hours to producing this report, having met with all the security agencies and other stakeholders.

He further noted that the Senate is willing to grant the one week request if it would enable the report being enriched by further interactions with the Nigeria Police.

He then encouraged the committee to present a solid report with solutions, adding that it would be the contribution of the Senate “to unravelling the intricacies that have made our security outfits to be overwhelmed at the moment”.

“So, you have one more week to finish your report,” Lawan added.
