A group of protesters under the aegis of the Guardians of Democracy and Development Initiative (GDDI), on Monday, took to the streets of Abuja to demand the sack of the National Security Adviser (NSA), Maj. Gen. Babagana Monguno (Rtd) and Minister of Defence Minister, Maj. Gen. Bashir Salihi Magashi (Rtd) for alleged incompetence.
Their spokesman, Comrade Danesi Momoh, told President Muhammadu Buhari to sack the pair with immediate effect.
Flanked by Co-convener of the group, Igwe Ide-Umanta, Momoh said, “We wish to start with the statement credited to the National Security Adviser himself, Maj. Gen. Babagana Monguno (Rtd), where he was quoted as saying: “people are getting tired and are beginning to gravitate into other means of self-help.
“Truth is that Nigerians are not just getting tired; we are suffocated, frustrated, threatened, apprehensive and completely uncertain about our safety and that of our loved ones. We cannot continue this way, and both the National Security Adviser (NSA) and the Minister of Defence Know that.
“We have had to tolerate a National Security Adviser who has no record of achievement in his seven years in office. And right under his supervision, intelligence has been ignored (as has now been exposed by the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives),” he said.
