A security expert, Mr. Jackson Olalekan-Ojo, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari, to sack the current service chiefs in the country as a result of their failure to curb the incessant attacks by the Boko Haram sect.Olalekan-Ojo said this in a statement made available to our correspondent in Osogbo on Wednesday.
He said the service chiefs had done their best but their best was not good enough to tame the insurgents who have continued to kill Nigerians in large numbers.
The statement read partly, ” Having ordered the military to relocate their central command to Maiduguri which is where the fight is, Mr. President should also relieve the current service chiefs of their appointments and appoint new service chiefs that will bring in new initiative and tactics to combat these Boko Haram members.
” These terrorists have now resorted into suicide bombing and these people do twosome, threesome or solo. I think we need fresh officers with fresh ideas and strategies to stop this bloodletting.
” Human lives are sacrosanct and the President should stop the mindless killings by the group and he should sack the service chiefs to be able to achieve this.”
Olalekan-Ojo lauded the President for acceding to the call of Nigerians on the bailout for states owing salaries, saying this would save the country from crisis which could have happened if the problem was not tackled that way.
The security expert appealed to Nigerians to be patient with the President, saying he was confident that the President would not let the nation down.
According to him, Buhari is laying a solid foundation for the development of the country while urging Nigerians to be patient with the President in order for him to deliver effectively on his electioneering promises.
