"Keep Telling Buhari To Overhaul Nigeria Security Architecture''- SWEGOP Charges Journalists

The South West Group of Online Publishers (SWEGOP) has called on journalists to keep drumming it to the ears of President Muhammadu Buhari the need to double up his efforts at overhauling the security architecture of the country.

Speaking at 'Unification Luncheon' of the Group, held on Friday 7th August, 2020, at Development Support Centre (DSC), Iyaganku GRA, Ibadan, SWEGOP Chairman, Mr. Olayinka Agboola emphasized on the need for Nigeria to have a solid security system.

"We must talk about it every time, we should go to our different Houses of Assembly to lobby our lawmakers there to discuss it and offer practicable solutions. Aboaraeni niaabo ilu.

“We cannot say Kaduna is far, or Borno State is not near and thus, pretend not to be concerned. Nobody knows whose turn it will be tomorrow. Let us take the issue of insecurity more seriously. The assignment is not only for the government, we must be on our guard at all times.”

Agboola also used the medium to congratulate the South-West states governors on their bold move to establish the Western Nigeria Security Network codenamed Amotekun Corps.

He however frowned at the delay in the official takeoff of the security outfit. Saying the governors must make hay while the sun is still shining, noting that it is taking too long for them to activate the project.

“It is not rocket science. They should match action with words. Procrastination can dampen the spirit of our people. Our governors need to move faster,” Agboola said.

SWEGOP is a group for online news publishers in the Southwest region of Nigerian. It prides itself as the epitome of ‘ethical revolution’ in online journalism. It has been in existence for close to five years.
