Former Vice President and
Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the 2019 election,
Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has advised the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur
Buratai to permanently relocate to the North-East zone, particularly Borno to
intensify the fight against insurgency.
Speaking through one of the 2019
Presidential campaign council, Prince Kassim Afegbua, Atiku flayed General
Buratai for recently accusing soldiers of lacking in commitment to root out
insurgency in the country, adding that the spate of killings in the land is
such that the government’s pledge to end banditry and other forms of
criminality in the country requires more action than sloganeering.
“It is about time the President
goes beyond mere sloganeering, and sprouts to action. We are tired of
weather-beaten rhetoric that has become so repetitive and boring. We need to
see a different approach in terms of choosing the right personnel to dispense
with the responsibilities of safeguarding the country.
“From the statement earlier
credited to the Chief of Army Staff, General Buratai, it does appear that we
are in serious defense inertia. Some Nigerians have been saying that it is
about time the President rejig his security personnel. Let these tired legs
leave the scene for a more robust and result-driven younger minds that will
come up with a new perspective on how to combat our insecurity challenges.”
Adding that “the present Chiefs,
seem to have reached their nadir and the motivation to deliver the right
modules for effective security is tellingly missing.”
