Insecurity: Sack Your Service Chiefs – Northern Youth Leaders Tells Buhari

A coalition of Northern youth groups Coalition Against Killings in Northern Nigeria (CAKIN) and the Northern Groups Coalition (NGC) have called out to President Buhari to sack the service chiefs in the nation.
This is coming as a result of the level of insecurity in the region of the country. the groups lamented how Boko Haram insurgents and bandits damage properties and take away the lives of people.
The groups noted that President Buhari’s administration, in the stead of curbing insecurity as promised, escalated, exposing more people to avoidable deaths and loss of properties. This, according to the groups is due to the non-challant attitude of the administration and its agencies to the plight of the people.
They then gave the Federal Government 14 days ultimatum to sack the service chiefs or look for a lasting solution as soon as possible.
“It is on a sad note that this coalition wishes to remind the federal government and government at all levels, that the primary responsibility of government anywhere, particularly the one that was democratically elected by voters, is to protect the lives and property of citizens. Alas, five years into President Muhammadu Buhari’s tenure, instead of reducing insecurity, it has escalated thereby exposing great numbers of our people to avoidable deaths and loss of property in a manner that history has never witnessed before.”

“As patriotic citizens, it is our constitutional duty to raise voices and call attention to the killings that is taking place across states of the Northern regions on a daily basis and mobilise citizens on how to constructively engage government at all levels and make demands to end the killings. A total overhaul of the leadership of the nation’s security apparatus and inject higher levels of competence, integrity and accountability. The coalition is saying enough is enough and an end must be put to the mindless killings of our people particularly in the villages, and the non-challant attitude displayed by government and its agencies to the plights of people going through horrific experience in the hands of criminals that seemed to have overwhelmed our security agencies“, the coalition said.
