The Abundant Nigeria Renewal Party has told President Muhammadu Buhari to look into changing Nigeria’s security chiefs as one of the ways to curb insecurity in several parts of the country.
The party said the nation’s security architecture was old school and in need of a total overhaul.
A statement from them read, “Every other country replaces its security chiefs in light of security breaches, even those of lower magnitude. Recently, Mali and Chad did same.
“President Buhari pampers Nigeria’s security chiefs who are clearly at their wits’ end, tired and incompetent, extended the terms of those who are due for retirement, and even recalled one out of retirement back to the job.
“Nigeria’s entire security system is weak, archaic, and ineffective, desperately in need of complete overhaul.
“The Babagana Kingibe Committee (2017) report clearly states and recommends this. Unfortunately, it has been discarded to a waste bin as against being implemented.”
On Yari’s decision to retain charmers to battle insecurity in Zamfara state, they said, “Governor Abdulaziz Yari of Zamfara has retained 1,700 charmers in addition to the already 8,500 charmers the state government retained to tackle the security situation in his state.
“This is unprecedented, and unheard of; a tragic and outright irresponsible approach to handling the crises in this 21st century.”
