Former Deputy Nationwide Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Comrade Timi Frank, has referred to as on President Bola Tinubu to right away sack the nation’s safety chiefs following the unabated killings of Nigerians throughout the nation.
Frank made the decision in an announcement on Sunday in response to the recent killing of troopers in Borno State by suspected Boko Haram insurgents.
He expressed concern over the rising wave of insecurity, banditry, and kidnappings, describing the scenario as a nationwide tragedy that requires pressing government motion.
In response to Frank, Nigerians are being killed “like chickens” every day throughout the North, South, East, and West, a transparent indication that the nation’s safety structure has collapsed underneath the present management.
“Our troopers and policemen are dying in massive numbers as a consequence of poor funding and lack of correct gear. Regardless of large budgetary allocations to the safety sector, the funds don’t attain the women and men on the entrance traces, nor are they used to buy the appropriate gear wanted to fight insecurity,” the assertion learn.
In response to him, the continual killings have attracted worldwide consideration, and he recommended US President Donald Trump and Senator Ted Cruz for his or her advocacy on behalf of Nigerians, particularly their condemnation of the incessant killing of Nigerians in components of the nation.
Frank urged Tinubu to heed Trump and different United States of America leaders’ counsel on insecurity.
“We commend President Donald Trump for his concern and ethical braveness in talking towards the killings of Nigerians. We equally commend Senator Ted Cruz for lending his voice to those injustices. Their actions have helped to interrupt the silence of our political class, particularly these within the ruling get together,” the assertion added.
“Nigeria has all the time maintained a cordial relationship with the USA. We is not going to permit any authorities or people to destroy that friendship. As Nigerians, we stay dedicated to strengthening our ties with the U.S. within the curiosity of peace, democracy, and international safety,” he stated.
He lambasted the Nigerian Senate for criticising Ted Cruz over his feedback in regards to the killing of harmless Nigerians, describing them as a “shame and disappointment.”
“If the Senate and, by extension, the Nationwide Meeting had faithfully and diligently carried out their constitutional mandate of oversight and illustration in checkmating government recklessness, just like the continued detention of Nnamdi Kanu and getting the safety chiefs to behave in defending the lives and property of Nigerians, Senator Ted Cruz wouldn’t have picked on Nigeria as an excellent instance of unwarranted killings and intimidation of harmless residents by lethal gangs.
“Have a look at how they took their time to answer Senator Ted Cruz’s feedback, whereas they failed through the years to face for justice by calling for the discharge of Nnamdi Kanu or to make sure via their oversight powers that the safety chiefs reside as much as their mandate to guard defenceless Nigerians from horrific assaults and killings,” he stated.
