Insecurity: Service Chiefs have failed Nigerians - Senator Shettima Says

Kashim Shettima, Senator from Borno Central, a former Governor of Borno State has said the current Service Chiefs are dispensable, hence they should be removed for failure to handle insecurity that have befallen country.

Appearing on Arise Television, the lawmaker insisted that the Service Chiefs were no longer effective in the discharge of their duties.

He said, “Why I was agitating for the removal of the security chiefs has to do with the fact that they have given their best but their best is no longer good enough. Shehu Shagari had three service chiefs in his four years of stewardship.

“Nobody is indispensable. And the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. We believe that morale is high; there is the need for an injection of people with new ideas, with fresher perspectives to come and address the issues.

“By June next year, Course 35 is going without reaching the pinnacle of their careers. So justice, equity, fairness and even commonsense demands that these service chiefs should go.”
