Minister Asked to Resign After Attacks on Military Bases

Minister Asked to Resign After Attacks on Military Bases

 

Following a series of coordinated attacks by Boko Haram and ISWAP fighters on military bases in Borno State, the Northern Patriots for Security and Development (NPSD) has called for the immediate resignation of the Minister of Defence, Mohammed Badaru Abubakar, citing his inability to provide effective leadership for the armed forces.

 

In a statement released in Kano on Tuesday evening, NPSD President, Alhaji Mansur Ibrahim Dantani, expressed deep concern over the deteriorating security situation in the North-East, attributing it to the Defence Minister’s lack of strategic direction and alleged political ambitions.

 

“The recent attacks on military formations in Marte, Dikwa, Rann, and Gajiram within a 24-hour period, resulting in the loss of gallant soldiers and military equipment, shows a glaring failure in leadership at the highest levels of our defence architecture,” Dantani stated.

 

He further alleged that Badaru has been more focused on positioning himself for the 2027 presidential elections than on addressing the pressing security challenges facing the nation.

“It is disheartening to note that while our troops are making the ultimate sacrifice, the Minister of Defence appears to be more engrossed in political maneuverings aimed at advancing his presidential aspirations. This diversion of focus is detrimental to our national security,” he added.

 

The NPSD also highlighted issues related to inadequate funding and resource allocation for the military, pointing out that despite budgetary provisions, the armed forces continue to grapple with insufficient equipment and logistical support.

 

“Our investigations reveal that the Ministry of Defence has failed to ensure the timely release and proper utilization of funds earmarked for military operations. This has left our troops vulnerable and ill-equipped to confront the insurgents effectively,” Dantani emphasized.

 

He called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to take decisive action by relieving Badaru of his duties and appointing a more competent and focused individual to head the Defence Ministry.

 

“The security of our nation cannot be compromised by personal political ambitions. We urge President Tinubu to prioritize the safety of Nigerians by appointing a Defence Minister who is committed solely to the task of securing our country,” Dantani concluded.

 

The NPSD’s call comes amid growing public outcry over the resurgence of insurgent activities in the North-East, with many Nigerians expressing frustration over the government’s handling of the security situation.

 

As the nation mourns the loss of its brave soldiers, the demand for accountability and effective leadership in the defence sector continues to grow.
