Human rights lawyer, Femi Falana, SAN, says the regime of the President. Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) may be giving false impression that the Joe Biden administration will send United States troops to defend Nigerians.

The lawyer said rather than give the false impression, the Federal Government of Nigeria should embark on mass recruitment of military and police personnel, equip and motivate them to defend every part of the country.

Falana stated this on Thursday in a paper he presented at a public lecture to mark the 80th birthday of an academic, Prof Omotoye Olorode, in Abuja.

The paper was titled, ‘Labour And The Quest For Nigeria’s Development: Reflections And Prognosis On The Way Forward’.

The PUNCH had earlier reported that Buhari on Tuesday sought foreign help to put a stop to the ceaseless bloodshed and kidnappings nationwide.

The former military head asked the US Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken, for the support of the Biden administration to tackle the security menace in Nigeria.

Buhari, who warned of a likely spill over of insecurity to neighbouring West African states, also called on the US to consider relocating US Africa Command from Stuttgart, Germany, to Africa, nearer the Theatre of Operation.

Speaking Thursday on the request for help by the Buhari government, Falana said the government should strengthen the security forces and not wait for US support which may likely not come.

The senior advocate said, “Regrettably, Nigeria is currently witnessing the virtual collapse of the security architecture of the neocolonial State due to the diversion of the huge fund earmarked for procurement of arms and ammunition for the armed forces and the police by successive regimes.

“To prevent terrorists and bandits from sacking the government, President Buhari has appealed to President Joe Biden to come to the aid the ruling class in waging war against terror and banditry.

And without consulting either the African Union or the ECOWAS the federal government has asked President Biden to relocate the US African Command (AFRICOM) in Germany to Africa.

“Since 2009, the cry for help in prosecuting the counter insurgency operations had fallen on the deaf ears of the leaders of the West. As if that was not enough, the United States and her allies prevented Nigeria from acquiring vital security equipment to prosecute the war on terror due to the abysmal poor human rights record of the armed forces and the police.

“Even though the Buhari administration was allowed to pay the sum of $329 million for 12 super Tucanofighter jets in November 2018 to aid the counter insurgency operations in the North East Zone the jets have not been delivered.

“Instead of giving Nigerians the false impression that the United States is going to send troops to defend them the federal government should be compelled to embark on mass recruitment of military and police personnel, equip and motivate them to defend every part of the country.

In addition, all state and local governments should proceed to set up defence committees constituted by young men and women in every community to collaborate with the Police in securing the lives and properties of all citizens.”

NOBODY WANTS TO WORK,WITH AN INCOMPETENT TERRORIST

I pity people that always believe what this man says..He is fighting because of his own personal interest.Ever since Buhari denied him the position of minister justice, that was where all these attacks against Buhari's government started..

With the way uniform people are treated in this country, how many people will be willing to join?

That's the problem with Nigeria; we are just "doing" ourselves with our bad actions and recklessness; blocking the possibility of different solutions.

Typical Aboki! I pity you for always listening to that lifeless, dementia dullard in Asa Rock, who is deliberately allowing insecurity to deteriorate for his obvious fulanization and Islamization agenda....

They know what we don't know yet........






























































that nigger-area has TOTALLY gone to the dogs

thunder fire u

Compromised security.

First, Buhari should apologize for lying to Nigerians that he was a former general and was going to lead the war against insurgent from the frontline....

Because, if truly Buhari learned anything from the army (aside plotting coup) he would have been able to reduce the insurgent from when he met it as GEJ had reduced it to a minimal level before the general election...


It's therefore confirmed that Buhari is a failure and have no security training from any military outfit...

Buhari don cast ohh

Buhari sef doesn't want them to come , he was just doing Yimu yimu

You just sound like a fool!

The body language of Buhari is the language of a terrorist.

SAN if you put fresh tomatoes with one wey done spoil na spoil all of them go spoil.

Immediate solution is for all of us to collectively look for asylum from neighbouring countries

Na mumu dey think of joining the nigerian army and police force this time around, except those brown teeth, goro eating and kunu drinking futa jalonians

Falana is correct.
Mass recruitment is the answer.

But I dont take this useless government serious.

I tell you, no modern country take buhari serious on security.
He himself he is insecurity.
His terrorists fulani brothers, he give them free hands to commit their crimes.

He consider himself as fulani leader than president of the country.

Nigerian generals -- oloribuku oleeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Which African country has US help to fight terrorism and they came out better for it.

We know the solution to our problems yet we play the ostrich

If u have a car with a bad tyre ,what do u do...u remove that tyre

We are asking the problem in abuja for solution

NASS must do the needful and grow some big balls

History would not be kind to those southern senators and house of rep members who sold their birthright on the altar of party allegiance and fear of being persecuted

Get a new head as see how every thing would change

We cannot go on like this for another two years

Would the North have kept quiet while a southern tribe kills, rapes and destroy its own.

You already know the answer

your brain is full of dog shit

he is seeking for foreign help so he can maim and kill everybody in the south, that is the target, since he became the president, he personally disengaged foreign mercenaries who Goodluck brought to tackle Boko haram because he believes that the fight against Boko haram is a fight against the North, the foreign help he is seeking only started immediately the south started fighting back his terrorist brothers and his corrupt police and military executioners.

Hmmm..

Why foreign help now
