A former Coordinator of Defence Media Operations, Major General John Enenche (retd.), has argued that replacing Nigeria’s service chiefs is not the solution to the country’s persistent security challenges.
Enenche made the remarks during an interview on Arise Television on Tuesday while reacting to recent calls for the resignation of the service chiefs amid ongoing threats of terrorism, banditry, kidnapping, and other violent crimes.
He specifically countered the position of the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, who had urged President Bola Tinubu to issue a 90-day ultimatum to the security chiefs to eliminate terrorists and their sponsors or resign.
“People may be thinking the service chiefs are not working, but I can tell you that changing service chiefs every six months or every year is not the solution at all,” Enenche stated.
The retired general emphasised the need for a long-term, coordinated national approach to insecurity rather than frequent leadership changes driven by public pressure. He urged Nigerians to treat the issue with utmost seriousness.
“It is not beyond what we should do because if we don’t act now, it will continue and keep rolling over from one administration to another, and that must stop,” he added.
Enenche’s comments come as public frustration grows over the worsening security situation across several parts of the country.
