Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, says the Service Chiefs are short of fresh ideas to solve the present security problems, hence should resign and give way to allow for fresh ideas and strategies that will tackle the problems.
The governor said this on Friday in Port Harcourt during the wreath-laying and parade ceremony to mark the 2021 Armed Forces Remembrance Day.
Although he acknowledged the efforts by the country’s security chiefs in the battle against terrorists, Wike noted that despite full military engagement with Boko Haram and bandits, the threats appear to be overwhelming the country’s security agencies.
“We thank the Service Chiefs for their efforts so far in the battle against the insurgents. But we also align with the concern of citizens that having seemingly reached their wits’ end, they should now give way for fresh hands and ideas to give the fight the impetus that it so strongly needs to ensure that Boko Haram and killer bandits are comprehensively defeated and smoked out of existence,” he said.
