Just like when someone has been in a terrible situation and later relieved from the burden feels happy, this is how some Nigerians expressed happiness over the recent development of the retirement and resignation of Service chiefs in Nigeria who have been on the throne for over six years.
Before this recent development, a lot of Nigerian elites and local persons through various means of communication have thrown words of disappointment to the president for not sacking the service chiefs which many believed the generalissimo and lanky man will do anything bides by the constitution and in love of the people. But on this issue, he decided to turn deaf ears.
One will not be fair, if he didn’t commends the efforts and resilience of the retired service chiefs especially when the ranging far terrorist takedowns of Boko Haram has been defeated to only Borno not like it was before when almost every parts of the country experience different form of attacks.
The creation of battalions to tactically defeat the insurgencies and air strikes by the NAF which in a report once read, the leader of the ISWAP was being injured because of the massive attacks poured on them.
While commending them, then let’s states the main reasons why they become imperative to Nigerians and become so not interesting. Its because of how the way and approach to tackled Boko haram has failed and paves way for other criminal take outs in the country, such as Kidnappings, Banditry and the worst part of it some Soldiers whose number is up to 200 wrote their resignation letters. This is terrible.
On Buharis curiosity to fight insurgency and be a military in action and civilian in looks makes Nigerians reposed confidence in him to bring an end to insecurity and boost citizen well fare and well being. When the service chiefs failed to deliver as fully expected many thoughts Buhari on his own will sacked them but he shows no concern to that. Which many believed he is fear of been couped up or impeached.
Well at last, the expected has been seen and witnessed Buhari later accepted their resignation letters, But what if they didn’t resign?
To the new service chiefs please do your possible best to see you deliver as much beyond expectations. In three years we expect to see the end of Boko Haram, Kidnappings and other terrorist activities that has not been fought in 13 years.
On this note, The NSA should be sacked too because he is part of the teaming age of those service chiefs and appoint new one with new strategies.
I urged Nigerians to support them with prayers and kind words and our wealthy individuals can play a vital role in helping them a special package for our officers battling with those nuisance children.
