Northern elders have restated their call for President Muhammadu Buhari to sack the Service Chiefs. They said the military high commands have underperformed in the face of rising insecurity across the country. The elders maintained that the Service Chiefs have not been telling the President the true state of affairs in the Northeast. In a statement by the National Coordinator of the Coalition of Northern Elders for Peace and Development, Zana Goni, the region’s elders lambasted a coalition of civil society organisations (CSOs) which opposed the calls for dropping the Service Chiefs. Last Saturday, about 16 CSOs issued a statement in Lagos, condemning the northern elders for demanding the sack of the service chiefs over the insecurity in the country. ADVERTISEMENT Read Also: House of Reps reiterates calls for sack of Service Chiefs The North elders’ statement reads: “The Service Chiefs, no doubt, are underperforming. Civilians and soldiers are being killed everyday by men of the underworld (Boko Haram), and other defiant sects. There are no sanctuaries in the country again. “Churches, schools and mosques are not safe as they are being invaded by terrorists. Some Nigerians in the North are seen fleeing to neighbouring countries to seek refuge. Soldiers who are supposed to be at the war front are tugging their khakis and resigning over lack of motivations from the service chiefs. There are limited weapons and platforms for them to use. “So, to brand the position of Northern elders as inconsequential is unfortunate and satanic. The worsening insecurity in the country is not a problem but raising alarm against it is the problem? What does Mr. Shina Loremikan intend to achieve? “Is it a crime for Northern elders to express their concerns on the state of insecurity and bring to the attention of the nation what their constituents are passing through and proffer solutions on how it can be overcome? “People all over the North and indeed the entire country are tired of the killings; the Northern Elders for Peace and Development is not an exception. The rich are also crying! We must all be genuinely involved in the peace process, knowing that insecurity anywhere in the North is a threat to all of us.” https://thenationonlineng.net/service-chiefs-have-underperformed-say-norths-elders/ |

sarrki: There is no insecurity across the country. There is insecurity in north only. Our problem in south is sars and fulani herdsmen. We shall treat both. Tell those useless elders to face their problem. If they think we in south will protest for their insecurity they are mistaken. |

Story for the gods. Had they or their youths protested like this about a decade ago against boko haram and herdsmen attacks on their people, the crisis rocking the region wouldn't have been this escalated and unquenchable but they were playing politics with everything. Charley boy and co staged a protest and titled it "Our Mumu Don Do" they condemned the protest and Northern youths in their usual sabotaging habit called for an end to it. Down south, our men and women had protested against the killings and kidnapping in the north by boko haram but their northern leaders and youths kept quiet, leaving only the victims protesting. I remember BBOG. We protested against retaining the underperformed service chiefs but they said they should leave them.alone. southerners later called off the protests and now, the issue is out of control up north. If they come out if it in the next 50 years, they're lucky. I hope we wouldn't have another Yemen in our country las las |

No one really understands the kind of attachment Buhari has with these service chiefs that he cannot sack them even when all corners of the federation have been calling for it.. Buhari should start sacking corrupt public workers in huge numbers at a go and keep at it like it's like a hobby, the shock would re-adjust the bottom, while the people would naturally give him a new lease of trust.. Release all the list of uncompleted projects paid for by the Govt but not done by private contractors, am sure the people can handle it from there.. Pass a death penalty bill on corruption to the NASS. |

Esseite: We should all pray, because things are going to get worse. The protest arent going to end soon. The protesters will soon hold the whole country to its knees. Their mission now is to block all roads leading to the major airports so that no big man or even the president can leave the country. After that they will block all roads leading to all the states. At this stage, hell will be unleashed. Then revolution will start. Which will then lead to civil war. What we are to expect has even started in Abuja when the Igbos and Hausa clashed yesterday. A northern malitia group might emerge. Also, insecurity will increase exponentially because with the population of unemployed youths I am seeing taking part in the ProSARS and ENDSARS, only God can save us. |

I doubt if buhari would sack them. He like their composition. If there is any war from any southern part of the country, he think they are right combination. |

Any politician sending youths to come cause confusion is not helping himself. If the protest should stop you are not safe. Right now you know where these people are, the moment we don't see them you are in trouble. I don't have to explain myself too much. |
