A Militarisation of the Southeast

A recent shoot-on-sight order against persons considered enemies of state in the Southeast by President Muhammadu Buhari, is worrisome. Amby Uneze writes The recent shoot-on-sight order by President Muhammadu Buhari cannot be the solution to the insecurity in the Southeast today. Besides, importing soldiers and police personnel from the Northern part of the country to the Southeast with the charge to shoot-on-sight is more of a military culture. The essence of democratic rule is the total involvement of the people in the governance of their affairs and not government by force or kill-on-sight. Before the current madness of attacking police and correctional facilities by the so-called unknown gunmen in Imo State, the people of the state had known peace all the while. The state and its people were regarded as one of the most peaceful states, where visitors and people from other warring zones found peace.

Circumspection is the Higher Courage

THE PUBLIC SPHERE with Chido Nwakanma The South-East has assumed prominence in Nigerian discourse once again in the epochal months of spring. Informed persons know that during this period, nature releases an outpouring of power into creation. “During early spring, the Earth’s axis increases its tilt relative to the Sun, and the length of daylight rapidly increases for the relevant hemisphere. The hemisphere begins to warm significantly, causing new plant growth to “spring forth,” giving the season its name”. Man utilises this outpouring of energy for good or ill. Spring is significant for Nigeria for birthing many coups and disturbances. They include the first riots in Northern Nigeria in 1953, 29 May Araba in 1966, and even the May 1978 Ali Must Go in Lagos with significant consequences for student unionism. May, June and July are epochal months in Nigeria. Spring is equally the period when Christians realise a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit in Pentecost.

This is a good development since the government has now shown seriousness and concern about the deteriorating security situation in the country. We hope that it will bring out result.  I strongly believe that the armed forces of Nigeria in collaboration with other security agencies in the country have competent and well-trained personnel that can do the job of providing adequate security in Nigeria.
