Former governor of Abia state, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu has revealed that the new service chiefs appointed by Buhari need about 6 months to settle in fully and discharge their duties.
Dr Kalu spoke with reporters as he made it known that the appointment of the new service chiefs will not immediately translate into improved security in the country. He called for patience on the side of the citizenry to understand the plight of the service chiefs.
He said: “There is no day on earth that we sat in the national assembly without talking about insecurity, We have been very concerned. We are making a very good effort to amend the constitution. We are working around the clock to see how everything that is amendable to be amended to set the country rolling.
“When people were shouting remove the service chiefs, it is not the issue of service chiefs and the new service chiefs you’re bringing now need between four, five to six months to be able to know the security system. It is not an immediate thing, it is not just removing one and bringing another that solves the problem.
“It is going to be strategic, it is going to be professionally and openly handled. You need equipment. You look at the neighbourhood for about five to six months to be able to rearrange the security architecture of Nigeria.
“Mind you, we are just lawmakers. We are not in the executive, our duty is to make the law for the executive to implement. The national assembly has never had unity like we are today.”
“The country has been at war with itself. Most of these insurgencies are coming because of the collapse of the local government system where a lot of young men and women used to go to work, where you have a lot of councillors. When I was governor, councillors used to give a lot of road repairs, grading of roads, covets repairs. There is a need to go back to that system,” he added.
