Security Talks

-
From Nigeria’s seat of power, one of the talking points last week was President Muhammadu Buhari’s statement on the country’s ability to end the insurgency war in the North-East.
Buhari, who spoke when Janez Lenarcic, the European Union (EU) Commissioner for Crisis Management paid him a visit at the State House, Abuja, had said:


“If we were capable to fight a 30-month civil war and reorganized our country, I wonder why people are thinking that Nigeria cannot do it (overcome Boko Haram).

The President went further to tell his visitor, “We have the experience of the civil war. I could recall the role of the military, the army and each commander had in his pocket how to behave himself and how to allow international bodies like yourself to go round and see for themselves that people are treated in the most humane way. We have this experience and I assure you that we also have this confidence in your organization.



“That is why I feel that Nigeria is capable of handling this crisis, it may take longer but we are capable of handling it.”

It is of concern how many Nigerians still share President Buhari’s optimism. The disposition of many towards the current security situation is understandable. The killings are unbaiting, and no region of the country is spared. Nothing explains the deterioration better than the self-help initiatives by most federating units hiding under vigilance groups to attempt protecting lives and properties within their States.



The reports of notable global observers further begs the issue of claims that the Boko Haram war may be won not too far from now. Add that to recent threats by the United States, under Donald Trump, to place Nigeria on the list of countries too dangerous to visit because of terrorist attacks.

The President himself had set the tone for his administration to be measured by promising to contend with the challenge of insecurity by dealing with the issues in months.
