Senator Criticizes Military Operations in Sokoto, Mentions President's Error

Senator Abdul Ningi, representing Bauchi Central Senatorial District, condemned military operations in Sokoto, citing violations of Nigeria's sovereignty and the necessity for approval from the National Assembly. He accused President Bola Tinubu of failing to brief the Senate, undermining constitutional responsibilities.

The Senator's comments were made during a plenary session on January 28, emphasizing the breach of territorial integrity and the United Nations Charter. The discovery of a suspect Tomahawk missile in Mashegu LGA raised concerns, prompting investigations by security agencies.

The public's reactions varied, with some faulting the Senate and others criticizing the President's handling of the situation.
