PHOTO; SUNDAY AGHAEZE, JUNE 18 2020There is unanimity in the opinion of President Muhammadu Buhari and cross-section of Nigerians on the state of security and performance of Service Chiefs in safeguarding the country.
The pan-Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere, described the chastisement of the Service Chiefs by Buhari as a welcome development, saying their sack is long overdue. “The rebuke is not enough, we want him to take the next step which is changing them and bringing in new hands with new ideas.’’Umbrella body of Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, and the Association of South-East Town Unions, ASETU, said the rebuke was too long in coming while the Movement for the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, described it as mere deceit.
On his part, ASETU President General, Chief Emeka Diwe, said Buhari’s rebuke came pretty too late. He said: “Buhari’s belated rebuke is also not good enough. He needs to put up a serious, not pretended action against the insurgency. Boko Haram is nothing to Nigeria’s military strength if they are serious”.
George, a former Deputy National Chairman of the PDP, said: “When you stay too long on a seat, you get tired, perhaps they are tired. It is Buhari’s prerogative to keep them. If they have been there since he got there for over five years now, it is his prerogative.
