Sack service chiefs, senators tell Buhari
They made the call on Wednesday as the lawmakers deliberated on a motion on national security challenges and the need to restructure the nation’s security architecture.
These include resurgent Boko Haram attacks in the North-east and increased cases of killings and kidnappings across the country.Amidst the insecurity, the presidency has said Nigerians have reasons to be grateful as the situation is better than it was before President Muhammadu Buhari assumed office.
“They have done their bits and their tenure has expired. They are illegally occupying the seat. It will be good for the government to allow the security chiefs to go and bring in new people to add vigour to the fight against security,” she said.“We are complaining about the police not being enough. I think all of us and Nigerians should actually stop using police as private security. Let the police people go out and do their jobs.
“There’s grumbling within the military. Yesterday’s survivors are today’s victims and today’s victims are tomorrow’s survivors. “One of the problems is that we have not created enough resources for them to perform their job. Now, we have state governments who want to create State police. “We should go back to God as a country and say we are sorry. I have seen such examples in the Bible. If we confess our sins and ask God to forgive us and help us 2nd Chronicles 20:20.”After hours of debate, the lawmakers urged the president to declare a national security emergency.
