The Forum of the Northern lawmaker, on Wednesday, said it was concerned that Nigerians cannot sleep with their eyes closed anymore across the country and the North in particular.
The Northern senators who addressed the media after their meeting said the region is going to find a solution to the crises but only after the short break.
The spokesman for the group Senator Aliyu Wamakko who represents Sokoto Central said that no other person can find the solution for Nigerians and northerners but the people.
His words: “We met as Northern senators to show our deepest concern over the rising security challenges in this part and the entire country and on what needs to be done.
“The meeting is scheduled to continue after this short break because we are concerned as Nigerians and as Northerners. This country needs to be as secured as possible for every Nigerian to be where he/she wants to be and can sleep with two eyes closed, going about their businesses without any fear or favour.
“We have to find a solution because if we don’t do it nobody will do it for us. We are so worried. The entire political zones have one security challenge or the other and our duty as people’s representatives is to brainstorm more to find a solution to the security challenges.”
He continued that “there are many ways of finding solutions. I know we are using the security forces very well, but there are ways we can use dialogue too to find a lasting solution to the security challenges.”
The Senate earlier held a special session, on Wednesday, to mark the second year anniversary of the 9th National Assembly.
