National Security Adviser, Babagana Monguno, has said that President Muhammadu Buhari is angry over rising insecurity in the country.
Although he does not confirm whether or not he has lost confidence in the security chiefs, Munguno said Buhari appreciates the anxieties of Nigerians over the situation.
The NSA noted this on Tuesday in Abuja after a meeting with the security chiefs, saying:
“What he said today is virtually a reaffirmation of what he said the first time. Yes Mr President said you are doing your best, as far as I’m concerned, but there’s still a lot more to be done. I’m more concerned about the promise we made to the larger Nigerian society and I am ordering an immediate re-engineering of the entire security apparatus.
“This is something that I believe will be done in a very short time, but I just want us to keep hope alive.I know how everybody feels, I know how Nigerians feel, definitely the president is not oblivious of the fact that securing the nation is a primary responsibility of government and I believe in his sincerity, but again, since he’s not an octopus, since he’s not a spirit, if he delegates to people, then the onus is on them to actually fulfil the legitimate expectations of the larger Nigerian society.”
