Open Letter To President Muhammadu Buhari On The Quite Alarming And Disturbing Insecurity Situation In Nigeria

In the early hours of yesterday, 27th February 2021, exactly one week after my APC membership was revalidated at Ihe, I just settled down in the expansive village living room of my friend I had not seen in many years – Ihe in Awgu LGA of Enugu State being our hometown – when I received a distress phone call from Niger State Coordinator of South-East APC Presidency Project 2023.

All state plus Abuja coordinators of our Project are mandated to report each and every incident/development in their state or Abuja that might impact or affect our Project prospects positively or negatively.

The report from our Niger State Coordinator, whose LGA is the epicentre of ongoing banditry activities in his state, is simply harrowing. With daily deaths and destructions by criminals better armed than Nigeria’s police, security and military operatives, innocent residents of much of Niger State have been living in permanent fear.

Sir, as our friend of almost two decades (since 2002) and with your reputation of over 5 decades as a no-nonsense soldier in war and peace time, it surprises us that insecurity has become so alarming and disturbing during your current Presidency – with your intelligence, military and security chiefs that you trust clearly unable to arrest the ugly situation.

If acute insecurity was only in Niger State, it would not be acceptable, but it would have easier solution. Sadly, it is in every state of the federation (including yours and ours) plus Abuja.

Something drastic must be done without delay to eradicate banditry, armed robbery, kidnapping, militancy, insurgency and separatism from Nigeria before our country goes up in flames.

Many of the persons you trusted and appointed into government positions have clearly disappointed you. Sack them all and replace them with persons with the Nigeria patriotism, passion and capacity to help you deal with the myriad of challenges – including monstrous insecurity – bedeviling your presidency.

Nigeria is a country of brilliant individuals and you must not restrict your appointees to mediocre individuals who are only good at giving excuses for non-performance.

Specifically on mindless insecurity currently visited upon Nigerians, if your regular police, intelligence and military officers will not immediately take on the criminals and either wipe them out or drive them out of Nigeria, the hundreds of thousands of able-bodied members of South-East APC Presidency Project 2023 are willing to volunteer to confront the wild bastards troubling our country.

We cannot sit idly by and watch our country destroyed by marauders. All we need is your authority to arm ourselves appropriately and act accordingly.

Certainly, if we do nothing, our party will not easily win 2023. Yes, promise of President of Nigeria of South-East extraction on APC platform will not tolerate any nonsense from criminal elements, but we have become concerned that Nigeria’s survival over the next two years now appears uncertain. We don’t want that uncertainty and appeal to you to arrest it decisively.

If you rise to the occasion now, we are sure that only enemy foreigners in Nigeria won’t support you. We are sure 100% of Nigerians will praise you and, by extension, our party.

How wonderful it would be if we only received cheering security reports from our coordinators across Nigeria.

This is Chinedu Jideofo-Ogbuagu, veteran campaigner and your Special Campaign Adviser (ANPP, 2003). Please, Sir, let us together save our country from destruction and possible dismemberment. We partnered well in 2003 and would partner well for 2023.
