Osita Chidoka, a former minister of aviation, has criticised former President Muhammadu Buhari for allegedly causing a significant breakdown in Nigeria’s security structure through the nepotistic appointment of service head.
It may take long to recover from Buhari’s Government
Chidoka predicts that it will take a long time for the nation to recover from the devastation brought on by Buhari’s eight years in office. The Federal Road Safety Corps’ former Corps Marshall Chidoka spoke during a televised interview on Wednesday that our reporter watched.
“The country’s security has severely broken down. Because of his biassed and nepotistic nomination of service heads throughout his eight years in office, former President Muhammadu Buhari made it worse.
“He wrecked the security agencies, and I don’t think we’ll be able to recover from the damage for many years.” But if you look further back in time, you will discover that the main issue is that we have used our security agencies as places to hire the boys, our supporters, and friends.
The police, army, and Department of State Services’ top hierarchies, in Chidoka’s words, are inhabited by “unintelligent people managing our security agencies.” “A review of the police budget reveals that salaries account for 90% of spending, leaving only 4% to 5% for expenses related to hiring new officers.
Security is Compromised
They must therefore find alternative means of addressing their urgent needs. Because of this, security has become compromised, which is not unique to the South-East geopolitical zone, he continued.
According to Jerrymusa.com The spokeswoman for Buhari, Garba Shehu, could not be reached since calls to his phone number went unanswered, and as of the time of publication, he had not responded to a text message given to him.
