A retired commissioner of police, Abubakar Tsav in an interview with Peoples Daily Weekend, said President Jonathan lacks the acumen to lead Nigeria. Speaking recently in Kano, the security don said the president has not displayed the willingness to weed terrorists out of Nigeria.
He attributed the flops of Mr. President to corruption saying: “Jonathan is part of the corruption, because corruption has gone digital during his administration. Corruption is worst in Aso Rock and nobody is doing anything about it”.
“Corruption has become worst during the tenure of Jonathan. Who even looks confused, he hasn’t got the acumen and the capacity to rule this country” he added.
The former CP of Lagos state attributed the failure on the side of politicians to deliver the dividends of democracy as the main cause of the spate of bombings.
“They didn’t come because they want to serve people, but because they want to make money for themselves and their families. And that is why the security situation has gone bad”.
Relating to the on-going constitutional review, Tsav stated: “I think we do not need it, because no constitution in the world is perfect; every constitution has loopholes. What we should try and do now is to face this insecurity challenges in the country”.
Tsav enjoined government to embrace dialogue with the Boko Haram sect, since the use of force has not yielded the desired result and instead, compounded issues.
He lamented the porous and unprofessional attitude of the security agents in arms handling and called on scrutiny of allocated ammunition as was the practice during his tenure as commissioner of police.
And now that the northern leaders have spoken, is the storm going to be over soon? What is Federal Government’s true stand on issue of dialogue with Boko Haram? Will the Boko Haram lay down their arms? Will the Federal Government order the JTF out of Maiduguri? Will kidnappings, armed robbery, ritual killings and other vices stop? Can peace reign again in Nigeria? These and many more questions are begging for answers.
