The Speaker of Nigeria’s House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara this afternoon revealed that President Muhammadu Buhari is planning to re-organise the country’s security architecture.

Dogara spoke to State House correspondents after a meeting he and Senate President, Bukola Saraki had with President Buhari this morning.

The move, according to the speaker, will address the incessant killings now plaguing the nation. He however said he did not know the details of Buhari’s plans in this regard.

Dogara’s words: “The President has taken enough steps. These are security issues. They are not matters that you can discuss; but he has told us what he is doing, the re-organisation that he plans to put in place to ensure that this doesn’t happen.

“These are very sober moments for all of us. In a situation where people, in hundreds, continue to be killed, we can no longer tolerate this kind of situation as a government. Whatever it is, we must not lose the fight against violence because we can’t lose that fight and still keep our civilisation.

If you go to the North East, you can see the level of devastation caused by Boko Haram. Everything resembling progress: from schools to hospitals to government institutions, everything has been pulled down. And we don’t want a replication of this all over the country”.
