Legit.ng gathers that the ruling party chieftain, who is also a three-time senatorial candidate in Enugu state and member of the Buhari Support Group in the south-east, opined that the APC may be embarrassed in 2019, if the president does not rejig the security structure.
He stated: “I am not defending Buhari for the killings. We have not done too well in the area of internal security due to some handicaps that are being seriously tackled by the leadership. That does not mean that we have failed as a party.
“But you can also remember that when this government came on board, almost a whole state was taken hostage. But I believe that Mr President needs to rejig our security architecture; he needs to do it urgently as a compliment to his commendable efforts in degrading Boko Haram.
“The security lapses in Nigeria today are as a result of total failure of the Police, Immigration and Customs to do their job effectively. So if Mr President does not help in saving this situation now, we will likely be embarrassed in the future.”
