Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan challenges Defence Minister over Angwan Rukuba, Jos incident
Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has publicly called on Nigeria’s Defence minister, Christopher Musa, to take decisive action following renewed violence in Angwan Rukuba, Jos.
Recall that earlier today, news made the rounds, revealing that scores of people had been killed at the Angwan Rukuba area of Jos.
In a strongly worded message, the Kogi Central lawmaker expressed concern over the continued insecurity in parts of the country, describing the incident as yet another indication that many Nigerians remain vulnerable despite repeated assurances from security authorities.
She referenced earlier commitments made by the defence minister during his Senate screening, noting that expectations were high at the time.
However, she stressed that Nigerians are no longer satisfied with statements or reassurances, but are demanding tangible results in the form of improved security and protection of lives.
The senator urged the military leadership to move beyond expressions of sympathy and demonstrate effectiveness in addressing ongoing threats.
She emphasized that continued attacks without adequate response undermine public confidence in the nation’s security architecture.
Her words …
“Dear General Christopher Musa,
Angwan Rukuba is another brutal reminder that Nigerians remain unprotected.
During your screening at the Senate chambers, your words were filled with promises and I allowed myself a sigh of relief… at last, I thought.
Well, prove NOW you are different and secure lives, or step aside.
Enough of condolences. Enough of excuses.
Nigerians want action, protection, and results!!!
Senator Natasha H Akpoti Uduaghan
Kogi Central 🇳🇬”
