The Aminchi Centre for Social Advocacy and Community Development has rejected the 14-day ultimatum issued by the Muslim Rights Concern to the Minister of Defence, Gen. Christopher Gwabin Musa (rtd), over the persistent insecurity in Sokoto State.
MURIC, through its Executive Director, Prof. Ishaq Akintola, had called on the Defence Minister to take urgent steps to halt the killings, abductions and other violent attacks in the state within 14 days or resign.
However, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Aminchi Centre, Brahim Abdullahi Shuni, described the ultimatum as misplaced, arguing that insecurity could not be addressed by holding one individual solely responsible for failures within Nigeria’s complex security architecture.
Shuni stated this while addressing journalists at the Press Centre in Sokoto on Wednesday.
In a rejoinder titled, “MURIC’s 14-Day Ultimatum: A Call for Responsibility, Not Scapegoating,” he acknowledged the seriousness of the security situation but said the response should be based on constitutional responsibilities, institutional accountability and measurable performance.
