“I do not want to say we are at the nadir per se; but more like we are in dire straits.” NationalSecurity Security Insecurity Nigeria
, in this interaction with ENO-ABASI SUNDAY says the country must consciously tackle the present dire security situation, through cost-effective and efficiency driven approach. While applauding the present crop of service chiefs for providing the stabilising effect required to re-anchor, position, and rebound troops in 2015, he said it was time they departed lest the country begins to lose traction and feats, as is seemingly the case, albeit piecemeal.
In fairness to Nigerians, one must first mention here that many are such past assurances and approvals from the Presidency. Considering the merits and, or efficacy of such pronouncements , there is a general propensity to relate with such correspondences or assurances as mere ceremony and grandstanding. Put another way, when results do not match, or are not seen to carry the gist of what was said, the source or originator loses reckoning, confidence, and or followership of the citizenry.
The situation is pathetic indeed; there is a level of cognitive dissonance involved here. We seem to be torn between what is obvious and what is perceived. There is no gainsaying that agencies of government are in pains to admit that there are deficits involved in our security posture, while the victims or citizenry are caught somewhere in between partisan socio-political affiliations, and the looming security threats that they must live with, for those who have not died already.
The President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan recently claimed that the Nigerian military and other security agencies have failed to contain escalating insecurity because of international politics? How true is this claim? How much of a hindrance is the continuous stay in office of the service chiefs to the fight against insecurity?
