that history will be harsh to the present administration if it fails
to stop mass killings of innocent Nigerians.
Speaking at the resumption of plenary on Tuesday, Dogara argued that
whatever achievement that is being recorded by the government will not
be remembered if the orgy of violence and mass killings of innocent
Nigerians continue unabated.
"History will have a harsh verdict for us as a Government if we fail
to live up to this responsibility and it won't matter if we succeed in
other areas. Unfortunately, the stark reality now is that our citizens
are fast losing confidence in our security system," he said.
"This must not be the case. Before we ebb to the realm of anarchy, we
must rise up as true representatives of the Nigerian people to salvage
the situation and defend our hard-won democracy."
Dogara further noted that the unresolved issue of rampant killing of
defenceless people, including innocent and vulnerable children and
women, in various parts of the country, calls for a sober reflection
and more concerted efforts by the National Assembly to exploit all our
constitutional powers and privileges to ensure the protection of lives
and property in the entire country by the security agencies.
