My theory is, Buhari is keeping the service chiefs, who have failed in their duty, out of self-preservation. Boko Haram can sack the entire north-east, but the president will still keep the security chiefs. It said there has not been any progress in the fight against Boko Haram insurgents. On Monday, Lawan Andimi, chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in Michika local government area in Adamawa, was tragically dispatched by Boko Haram. To me, it is clear the security chiefs have failed in the one task for which they were appointed.
