Aftermath of the gruesome killing of 43 farmers in Borno last weekend, the Nigerian Senate on Tuesday called on President Muhammadu Buhari to fire the service chiefs.

The call by the senate is coming for the umpteenth time as the federal lawmakers, like a broken record, have continued to express dissatisfaction with the country’s anti-terrorism fight, seeking a replacement of the Service Chiefs.

Service Chiefs senate and buhariThe Senate President, Ahmad Lawan at plenary, demanded an urgent overhaul of the country’s security architecture, saying: “I Urge the President of Federal Republic of Nigeria to immediately initiate the transitionary process of phasing out the current over-stayed security chiefs and replacing them with new ones with new ideas and solutions;

“I Urge the President to take immediate steps to restructure, remodel and revamp the country’s entire security architecture and provide enough state-of-the-art weapons and equipment to effectively combat the belligerent power of the insurgents.”

The Senate President, who urged Buhari to robustly collaborate with neighbouring countries to rout out the insurgents through a multilateral arrangement, also sought for a pobe into allegations of massive corruption in the military

“The President shouldn’t ensure all resources meant and deployed for security are actually spent on the needs on ground; Impress on the Federal Government to aggressively explore multilateral and bilateral options of partnership with the neighboring nations of Chad, Niger and Cameroon towards reviving and strengthening the Multinational Joint Task Force.

“Finally, as a way of proffering long term solution to Nigeria’s existential security challenges, the Federal and States Government must adequately address all immediate and remote causes of insecurity in the nation,” Lawan said.
