The Chairman, Senate Committee on Police, Senator George Akume has decried President Goodluck Jonathan’s inability to tackle security challenges that has been raging the northern part of the country.

Addressing journalists in Abuja, the Senate Minority leader disagreed that the on-going insurgency staged by the fundamentalist group, Boko Haram is political.

The former governor of Benue state explained that it is more of a protest by a few disgruntled elements in the north which has been exploited by some people who have grudges with the government.

He however called on the federal government to inject more funds into agriculture in the north to reduce the menace of the sect as he said food runs hand in hand with security.
