‘Those Pushing For Sack Of Service Chiefs Have Ulterior Motives’ – Ndume Tells Tinubu
The Northern Ethnic National Forum called for the removal of Nigeria's Service Chiefs, citing professional incompetence despite substantial funding. Senator Ndume refuted these claims, alleging ulterior motives against Tinubu's administration and the Nigerian people. Ndume argued that instead of dismissal, a "TEAM approach" focusing on Training, Equipment, Ammunition, and Motivation is crucial to combatting insecurity. He highlighted the low morale among soldiers due to inadequate pay, with privates earning approximately ₦100,000 monthly and a daily allowance of ₦5,000, urging the government to prioritize soldiers' welfare. Ndume emphasized that statements calling for the removal of Service Chiefs could dampen morale and impede progress.
