The President, Major
General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), has finally admitted that although the
nation’s service chiefs are trying to tackle the security challenges being
experienced across the country, their best is not good enough.
He has therefore told
them that he will no longer accept what he described as excuses.
The National Security Adviser, Major General
Babagana Monguno (retd.), disclosed this to State House correspondents at the
end of a meeting Buhari had with the security chiefs at the Presidential Villa,
Abuja on Thursday.
Monguno quoted Buhari as telling the service chiefs
he appointed since 2015 that he expected them to henceforth live up to
expectations.
With the rising cases of
insecurity across the country, individuals and groups have been calling on the
President to change the service chiefs, some of whom he has on different
occasions extended their tenure.
Protests have been
holding in some parts of the North, including the President’s homes state,
Katsina, over the shoddy manner the government and security agents have been
handling cases of banditry and insurgency.
