A group of farmers in Northwest Nigeria has declared a vote of no confidence on the leadership of General Lucky Irabor, Nigeria Chief of Defence Staff for incompetence and failing woefully to protect their lives and properties.
The Group said the rate of insecurity situation informed its appeal. The Group, however reminded the President that General Irabor has run out of ideas on how to manage Nigeria conflicts.
In a statement signed by the region Coordinator, Malam Umar Argungu on Monday, July 4th, 2022, the farmers group expressed worry over insecurity in the land, which, it noted, was not getting better despite the efforts of the president.
The Group argued that the ugly security situation might cause food insecurity this year, while calling on the President to listen and respect the “Voice Of the farmers” that new hands are needed in the country’s security architecture.
Umar said: “We, the leadership and members of Farmers group consolidation Group, wish to appeal to our dear President and Command in Chief of the of the Armed Forces, Muhammadu Buhari to sack the Current chiefs without further delay.”
“Our position is because we have seen that the president may lose the support of Nigerians over the embarrassing security situation we are facing if he doesn’t act fast enough.”
The Group also urged President Buhari to come up with the Northwest appeal funds just as he did to Northeast to assist poor and vulnerable individuals affected by bandits attacks.
