Buhari & Atiku. |
Former
Vice-President Atiku Abubakar has condemned President Muhammadu’s approach in
superintending the security of Nigerians by equating it with ‘all talk and no
action’.
In a
series of tweets and Facebook post on Monday, Atiku recalled in nostalgia the
calm and security that pervaded the country decades ago, in his growing up
years.
“We
did not depend on police from Lagos or Kaduna. We had a community police
system. Nigeria must return to community policing, adapted to suit the culture
and history of each of the 6 zones, in order to stem the tide of insecurity”,
he wrote.
Then
he went for Buhari’s neck with a knife: “Our response to the killings of our
citizens cannot be just talk, talk, and talk.
“We must take decisive action to protect the
lives of all citizens, not just prominent ones. There has to be change, because
if we continue with the way things are, we will get the same results, he added.
The posts were repeated on his Facebook page.
Atiku
is not the only Nigerian who has given President Buhari some knocks about the
parlous security situation in the country, especially following the killing of
Funke Olakunrin on the highway in Ore Ondo State.
Nobel
laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka also addressed the issue in his birthday talk
with 85 youths in Abeokuta on Sunday.
Soyinka
especially lamented the growing challenges posed to the security of Nigerians
by herdsmen, saying President Muhammadu Buhari’s failure to resolve them has
eroded his administration’s achievements.
Soyinka
added that the “carelessness” and “negligence” of the Buhari’s administration
to the herdsmen menace has led to the death of many Nigerians.
