Insecurity: “Things are far better under Buhari” – Femi Adesina via politicsngr
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that the presidential aide in his weekly column disagreed with critics of the administration who say there is ‘worsening insecurity’.
“As if things were not bad enough, insurgency was later joined by banditry. Kidnapping for ransom. Militancy. Secessionist agitations. Cult killings. Internecine clashes. Ritual murders. Cattle rustling. Farmers/herders clashes, and more. Criminalities everywhere. In the words of T.S Eliot in The Journey of the Magi, “A cold coming we had of it,The ways deep and the weather sharp,“It was very tough, but we were also lucky.
Talking to the freshly minted officers from the NDA, the President said: “You emerge in an era of expanding global security threats, and in the past seven years, we have set aside high-tech platforms and prioritised your needs to facilitate your training and commissioning. “Although this is not a forum to introduce you to the military hardware you are stepping out to inherit, it is imperative to identify the magnitude and complexities of conflicts surrounding us. While acknowledging that our measures have yielded results and we remain ever grateful for the sacrifices of members of the Armed Forces, we must brace up for the dimensions this conflict has taken.
“In this regard, I have instructed the Service Chiefs to replicate the successes in the North East in other parts of the country, and I call on all Nigerians to continue to support our Armed Forces and security agencies.”
