Excerpts:
"It becomes clear that the government’s efforts to combat the epidemic of kidnapping, banditry, violence, and terrorism have fallen woefully short.
"Unfortunately, President
Bola Tinubu appears oblivious to the severity of the situation. Instead of
addressing the growing insecurity, Tinubu continues to jet worldwide in search
of investors.
"The Tinubu
administration’s failure to prioritize security has allowed bandits and
kidnappers to consolidate their grip on vast swathes of the country. The
worst-hit states included Zamfara with 667 victims, Kaduna with 454, and Niger
with 252.
"Unfortunately, President
Bola Tinubu appears oblivious to the severity of the situation. Instead of
addressing the growing insecurity, Tinubu continues to jet worldwide in search of
investors.
"Therefore, creating state
police is no longer a matter of debate but necessity. The Federal Government
should expedite the devolution of policing powers to the states, allowing for a
more localized and effective response to crime. In the United States, policing
is devolved such. Nigeria is at a crossroads".
My comment:
Conversation with the deaf. The
purported "owners” of Nigeria have stridently kicked against Restructuring
the lopsided Federation with decentralized security architecture as integral
part. President Tinubu allegedly is beholden to the "Caliphate
Colonialists, Fulani Feudal Oligarchy and Northern Political Emirate
Establishment" who dictate how Nigeria should be governed.
Please Punch and other
newspapers should stop wasting their time writing profusely on the pervasive
and intractable insecurity throughout the country because the Northern Moslems
know the primary and proximate cause of the insecurity in the country. They
know the solution but they allegedly use the terrorists masquerading as
herdsmen whom they flung open the northern borders for their infiltration
ostensibly for Islamization agenda. Who is fooling whom?
The simple question is: What
happened to the billions of public funds budgets from president Buhari administration
in the Ministry of Defense? Are the so-called "ungoverned spaces in the
North" (but in the South, there is no ungoverned spaces since ALL Security
agencies man every nook and cranny). Northern personages like Alhaji Gunmi and
his fellow travellers visit the supposed "bandits and criminals" in
their hideouts in the "thick forests" (please do human beings live in
forests?) and supposedly "plead with them and understand their so-called "grievance"
against the government (is it their state governments or federal government?).
Again as I said earlier, who is fooling whom?
