The Speaker of the House of Representatives of Nigeria, Yakubu Dogara, said that President Buhari is currently planning to reorganize the security architecture in Nigeria to address ongoing security challenges in parts of the country.
Dogara disclosed this to state house correspondents after a meeting president Buhari had with himself and Senate President, Bukola Saraki, at the state house, Abuja.
“The President has taken enough steps, these are security issues, they are not matters that you can discuss; but he has told us what he is doing, the re-organisation that he plans to put in place to ensure that this doesn’t happen,” he said.
Speaking further, Dogara said the carnage that took place in Plateau state over the weekend must not be allowed to repeat itself.
“These are very sober moments for all of us. In a situation where people, in hundreds, continue to be killed, we can no longer tolerate this kind of situation as a government. Whatever it is, we must not lose the fight against violence because we can’t lose that fight and still keep our civilisation. If you go to the North East, you can see the level of devastation caused by Boko Haram. Everything resembling progress: from schools to hospitals to government institutions, everything has been pulled down. And we don’t want a replication of this all over the country.”
