Yakasai To Buhari: Sack Your Service Chiefs For Failure To Address Insecurity Problem

A former Liaison Officer of ex-President Shehu Shagari, Tanko Yakasai, has thrown his weight behind calls demanding the sack of current Service Chiefs by President Muhammadu Buhari.

Speaking with a Lagos based national newspaper, Yakasai said Buhari needs to change tactics and seek fresh hands that would help in bringing an end to issues of insecurity in the country.

“President Buhari was elected by Nigerians and he should listen to them by dropping the service chiefs who have since reached retirement age in the military and appoint new ones with fresh ideas to do the job for which we elected him to do.

“The president’s idea about insecurity has proved inadequate to deal with the threat to our lives and property and he should urgently change tactics and personnel in order to win the war against rising threats to the lives of Nigerians,Yakasai said.

Yakasai’s comment is coming at a time the upper chamber passed a vote of  no-confidence on the military, police and other security architecture in the country.
