The senator representing Kaduna Central, Sen. Shehu Sani, has mocked Federal Government officials and security chiefs for saying that only God could secure the nation’s borders.
Recall that Chief of Naval Staff, Ibok-Ete Ekwe Ibas, recently said that “it is only God perhaps that can police such an expanse of border that we have”.
He said this after the service chiefs met Buhari last Tuesday before the second term Inauguration.
However, Sani queried the rationale behind such statement despite huge defense and security budgets.
The Herald recalls that the Federal Executive Council (FEC) on April 25 approved N52 billion for eBorder solution that will enable government monitor 86 border posts and 1400 illegal entry routes across the country.
Sani said that the statement amounted to admittance of incompetence.
According to him, “If it’s only God that can secure our borders despite huge defense and security budgets,then it will be logical to appoint men of God as security and defense chiefs or reroute our defense and security budget to mosques and churches.”
