It has been confirmed that the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu has left Nigeria for United States of America without recourse to the ongoing security challenges in Nigeria.
Many Nigerians have wondered why President Bola Tinubu will prefer his friendship wirh just one man over the security of lives and property of over 200million Nigerians.
The recent action of Nuhu Ribadu has been discribed by many as a show of nonchalance and low capacity to weather the raising security challenges that Nigeria has been met with.
Having military Generals take orders from a retired police officer like Nuhu Ribadu as National Security Adviser is one issue many Nigerians have identified as an act of urgent concern. How do you expect such a security system to work, where you have competent veteran intelligence chiefs in Nigeria who retired from the Defence Intelligence Agency, State Security Service and the National Intelligence Agency, capable of handling the office of the National Security Adviser. Even retired Service chiefs with capacity to deal decisively with the current security situation of the country are there unconsulted.
At the moment, the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu is out if the country, the Minister of Defence, Mohammed Abubakar Badaru is in Dubai for an Airshow, the Chief of Defence staff, General O.O Oluyede is also out of the country admist hightening security challenges in Nigeria.
What a Nation?
President Tinubu must show that he is committed to ending insecurity in Nigeria by sacking these unproductive individuals immediately as yearned by majority of Nigerians.
