The President is not ready to fire the Service Chiefs, the Presidency said on Sunday night.
It was learnt that security reports before the President, indicate that “Nigeria is in a war situation”, as a result of which the President is weighing the options before him.
presidential spokesman Garba Shehu said that: “Removal or sack of service chiefs does not stop all of what we are experiencing. Whether we like it or not, we are in a war situation. The President and the Commander-In-Chief is seeing things that others cannot see. This is why he deserves the benefit of the doubt.
“How can they say the President does not care? His heart is there on how to secure and protect this nation. He is being briefed adequately by the service chiefs and others and he gives directives as the C-In-C.
“It is people who don’t know what the government is doing that are saying the President does not care. They think security is like a market place where everybody is an expert.”
Regarding the clamour for new ideas and strategy, Shehu added: “The strategy is always constantly being reviewed. Nothing is fixed.
“The President is a military man; he has been working very hard with others on multiple solutions to the challenges at hand.

It was learnt that more military hardware and personnel will be deployed in the frontline.
About 3,000 soldiers will be commissioned in March or April for the battle against insurgents.
The Air Force has already inaugurated over 2,000 new air men.
For new equipment, Shehu said: “About 1,000 military hardware bought with military budget and special funds from the Presidency are on the high seas to strengthen the war against insurgency and banditry.”
The Federal Government is hopeful of taking delivery of 12 A-29 Super Tucano fighter jets from the United States.
The contract was awarded to Sierra Nevada Corporation, an American aerospace contractor.
Shehu said: “While the military arsenal is not something you pay for and get, requiring mostly long-time orders, weapons will come in accordance with the terms of contracts.
“This country is expecting the commencement of the delivery of Super Tucano fighter jets, very effective in this kind of warfare, beginning next year from the United States.’’
Shehu explained the security problems are not peculiar to Nigeria as many African countries are under threat.
He said the security challenges were given serious attention at last week’s African Union (AU) meeting in Addis Ababa.
“So much is happening but there is a regional nature of the challenges. At the last AU meeting, there were fears being expressed that terrorists might take over some African states.
“Some people can say that some of these countries are far from us, the truth is that the Sahel Region has a problem.
“The insurgents are carrying out attacks and raids in some countries like Nigeria which they consider lucrative because they abduct or kidnap and collect ransom and they raid to loot.”
“The new AU chairman, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has promised two Special Summits of the organization this year bordering on security and African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).
