Service Chiefs No Longer Needed, Says Shettima As Sultan Asks Military To Occupy Lake Chad

[THREAD]
Federal lawmaker and immediate past Borno state governor, Kashim Shettima, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to sack the service chiefs immediately as they are no longer needed in the war against the insurgency.
In an interview with Arise TV, Shettima said the first two years of President Buhari’s administration saw improvements in the security sector but it subsequently deteriorated.
According to him, the service chiefs gave their best when they were first appointed but their best is no longer sufficient.

“They have given their best but their best is no longer enough,”  Shettima argued.
He added that sacking them was not unheard-of in federal governance as Shehu Aliyu Shagari had “three service chiefs” during his administration.

He said former president Olusegun Obasanjo also had four service chiefs during his second coming.
He started with Victor Malu, then Alexander Ogomudia, Martin Luther Agwai and subsequently Andrew Azazi,” the former governor said.
There have been numerous calls by the Senate to the presidency to sack the service chiefs who, according to the advocates, are bereft of new ideas to tackle insurgency in the northeast.
“The Senate observes that whatever it is military is doing and is not working and if the president thinks that the security men are doing their jobs very well, then the logical implication of such assumption is that the president,
as the constitutional commander in chief of the country, has failed in his most rudimentary assignment of securing the country,” Shettima said in a motion presented to the Senate on December 1.
In January, July and December, 2020 alone, similar calls were made but President Buhari has refused to grant the requests.

Defining The Massacres In North West Nigeria

From Kaduna to Sokoto, Katsina to Zamfara and Kebbi, it has been a cauldron of beastly killings.

In the run-up to the 2015 general elections, Zamfara state became the epicentre of the daily horror. The killings soon spread to Katsina state with some intensity.
