Senator Hope Uzodinma, the governor of Imo state, has urged the House of Representatives not to discuss Nigeria's security issue with President Muhammadu Buhari during a public session.
The Imo governor advised that instead of holding a public session, the leadership of the House should have a private audience with the president and brief other members during an executive session.
Vanguard reports that Uzodinma said this on the heels of the invitation of the president by the House after the brutal massacre of farmers by the Boko Haram insurgents in Borno state.

Why the discussion should not be public
Governor Uzodinma said discussing issues of national security publicly could be counter-productive.
He explained that an open discourse on national security could turn out to be a threat to national security itself.
Apart from compromising national security, such an appearance would offer the enemies of the country the window to know the weakness of the nation, the Imo state governor also stated.
