Former Vice-President Atiku
Abubakar has condemned President Muhammadu’s approach in superintending the
security of Nigerians by equating it with ‘all talk and no action’.
In a series of tweets and
Facebook post on Monday, Atiku recalled in nostalgia the calm and security that
pervaded the country decades ago, in his growing up years.
“We did not depend on police from
Lagos or Kaduna. We had a community police system. Nigeria must return to
community policing, adapted to suit the culture and history of each of the 6
zones, in order to stem the tide of insecurity”, he wrote.
Then he went for Buhari’s neck
with a knife:
“Our response to the killings of
our citizens cannot be just talk, talk, and talk.
“We must take decisive action to
protect the lives of all citizens, not just prominent ones. There has to be
change, because if we continue with the way things are, we will get the same
results, he added.
The posts were repeated on his
Facebook page
Atiku is not the only Nigerian
who has given President Buhari some knocks about the parlous security situation
in the country, especially following the killing of Funke Olakunrin on the
highway in Ore Ondo State.
Nobel laureate, Professor Wole
Soyinka also addressed the issue in his birthday talk with 85 youths in
Abeokuta on Sunday.
Soyinka especially lamented the
growing challenges posed to the security of Nigerians by herdsmen, saying
President Muhammadu Buhari’s failure to resolve them has eroded his
administration’s achievements.
Soyinka added that the
“carelessness” and “negligence” of the Buhari’s administration to the herdsmen
menace has led to the death of many Nigerians.
