Buhari’s Supporters Say Security Improving, Dismiss Calls For Him To Go

The Buhari Media Organisation (BMO) has described calls for President Muhammadu Buhari’s resignation on account of the unfortunate killing of the rice farmers in Zabarmari, Borno State as not only unnecessary but a distraction.

In a statement signed by Niyi Akinsiju, the group’s Chairman, and Cassidy Madueke, its Secretary, the group described as untenable and misplaced the impression being created through unguarded statements by some persons that President Buhari is not on top of the national security situation.

The BMO was responding to recent comments attributed to some individuals and sociocultural groups since after the tragic killing of the farmers by Boko Haram and challenged these groups and individuals to rise above personal interests to appreciate the broader national security picture dispassionately.

“There is no doubt that security which has received policy and budgetary priority by the Buhari administration has witnessed improvement on several fronts while new challenges are emerging and are being addressed. While present challenges seem daunting, many Nigerians seem to have conveniently forgotten how far we have come from the time leading to the coming of the Buhari administration when Abuja and our State Capitals were on practical lockdown; places of worship, markets, and public arenas were frequently targeted with bombs and Nigerians lived on the edge of great fear of the unknown.

“Criminals and criminality remain recurring a challenge for governments all over the world and the Buhari administration is working hard to secure lives and properties of Nigerians and despite the recent killings in Borno and other reports of insecurity across the country, Nigerians must not lose faith in the ability of the present Government to protect them. These are difficult times and they call for national solidarity, not distraction.

“We want to restate for the umpteenth time that the President Buhari administration is determined and committed to eliminating the insurgency in the Northeast and other acts of criminality across the country. Actions in this regard are already yielding results and well-known to many Nigerians.
