CAN calls for NSA Azazi’s sack

Gen. Azazi

Southeast Christians have an answer to the incessant bombings in the land: the National Security Adviser (NSA) should be fired.

 To the Christian Association of Nigeria(CAN), Southeast Zone,   Gen. Andrew Azazi, President Goodluck Jonathan’s  NSA, is a “decoration” who is incapable of stopping the bombers. He should go, CAN said.

The association warned that the bombings could frustrate Dr Ngozi Okonjo- Iweala’s plan to become the World Bank President.

The Chairman of CAN in the Zone and Bishop of Enugu Diocese of the Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion), the Rt. Rev Dr Emmanuel Chukwuma,  spoke yesterday in Enugu after an Easter rally.  

He described Gen. Azazi as a “ decoration”, who has failed to justify the confidence reposed in him.

Bishop Chukwuma insisted that the NSA to the President is incapable of containing the incessant bombings during festive periods.

“The National Security Adviser is a decoration. He is incapable and should be removed immediately. He has not performed up to the required standard,” he said.

The Bishop advised Christians in the Northern part of the country not to be discouraged, assuring that Christians in the South would continue to pray for them.

He warned that the incessant bombings during festive periods were capable of causing crisis. 

While expressing strong disapproval of  the bombings, Rev. Chukwuma advised the Federal Government to step up efforts insecurity in the country.
