Fight Against Insecurity: Buhari, Service Chiefs Get Nod

As views continue to differ on security situation in the country, the Coalition of North Central Civil Society Groups on Saturday called for total support for  President Muhammadu Buhari and the service chiefs to continue on their path to ending Insecurity and corruption.

The leaders of the group, Mr. Benard Tiza, Plangnam Useni, converner and co-convener speaking to journalists during a solidarity rally in Makurdi, Benue state also urged the government to profile persons alleged to be fueling crises across the country.
Nigeria has witnessed various forms of crises across the nation particularly in the northern region ranging from insurgency, banditry and kidnapping.
However, the group believes that some opposition elements were working round the clock to thwart the efforts of security agencies.
“The determination of the sponsors is to make the country ungovernable and paint a picture that the present administration and particularly service chiefs cannot protect lives and property. Nigeria must not bow to the antics of criminals. 
“Security agencies must carefully watch the activities of some opposition politicians. Their utterances make us believe that they know more about this insurgency. They are fueling violent crimes with their utterances and unpatriotic posturing on the issue of insecurity”.

It further urged President Buhari to keep faith with the service chiefs and disregard unpatriotic calls for their sack considering the successes they have achieved.
“We recall with chagrin that, before the coming on board of this administration and particularly the service chiefs, bombing became the order of the day. It was unusual to wake up and  not see gory pictures of bomb blasts. Abuja the Nation’s capital was not safe too. 
“In the light of this, we rise to oppose calls from some quarters for the sack of the military chiefs. It is our settled opinion based on the success recorded by the security agencies that, you do not change a winning team in the middle of a battle. 

“We commend the military for  their renewed determination to go after the main sponsors of these terrorist, bandits and criminals. Their arrest and prosecution is the only sure way of eliminating insurgency in the country”.
