“The primary responsibility of government anywhere, particularly the one that was democratically elected by voters, is to protect the life and property of citizens.” Nigeria Insecurity

It asked President Muhammadu Buhari to “immediately relieve the service chiefs of their duties,” saying unless killings in the region stop within 14 days, the coalition would “mobilise citizens to take to streets until the government is completely shut down.”

It however regretted: “Alas! Five years into President Muhammadu Buhari’s tenure, instead of reducing insecurity, it has escalated, exposing great numbers of our people to avoidable deaths and loss of property in a manner history has never witnessed before.” Similarly, the Kaduna Sate chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria , following a meeting where it assessed the security situation in the country, urged Buhari and state governors to admit they have failed security-wise and get help.

“If you are truly on top of the situation, these mindless killings and destruction should have stopped. CAN wonders how our government and security agencies always use this phrase without shame.” “Our government must therefore live up to this responsibility by tackling the present state of insecurity across the country. There is need for our leaders to do an honest stocktaking of the situation in our country.

He added: “Governors’ security votes demand some attention, as the reckless amounts being collected without accountability can no longer be justified.” Olajide, who supported the abolition of security vote “because it has been grossly abused,” said he was “not surprised” that the complaints about insecurity were coming from the North. “I expected it a long time ago. And that should remind the authorities that time is running out on them. They must initiate the process of restructuring right away,” he advised.

The Decimation of the Rural North, By Isa Sanusi - Premium Times OpinionWhile rural dwellers are being killed almost on a daily basis, both those killed and those in authority have appeared helpless. A stupid question which was not addressed in the write up. Why is there a complete absence of government security forces in these areas? What exactly is the problem? Is the regular loss of lives the acceptable option to the government? Can this not be stopped?
