The security agencies are the most patriotic crop of citizens whose agenda supersedes the parochial, partisan and clannish motivations of politicians addicted to the acrimonious scramble for power.
In Nigeria today many of our compatriots in the security services are paying the supreme price for the sustenance of law and order in the country.
The Department of State Security Services (DSS) under the transparent leadership of Malam Yusuf Magaji Bichi has assiduously amplified her distinctive capability in our nation’s security architecture through innovative strategies and programmes.
In a press statement made available to journalists in Abuja by the national coordinator , Coalition of Civil Society Groups for Peace, Security, Good Governance, Equity and Justice, Comrade James and Malam Yusuf Bida the duo appealed to all Nigerians to jettison divisive tendencies and rally round the administration to herald lasting peace and security in the country.
In the same vein, the group passed a vote of confidence on President Muhammadu Buhari noting that if we look back we will appreciate the giant strides recorded by the government despite the machinations of fifth columnists saying it is saddening that we forgotten the UN Nations Bombing, the Maddalla Catholic Church bomb attack and the Nyanya incident.
Further more, the Coalition commended the leadership of the Department of State Services for introducing Zonal Quarterly Conference of State Directors of Security (SDES) to identify contemporary security threats confronting the regions and proffer counter – measures .
The group lauded the DSS Director -general for convoking one day brainstorming session for prominent civil society groups in Nigeria with the theme”Civil Society and National Security in Nigeria.
The group appealed to politicians immersed in the 2023 election to redouble their energies through proactive initiatives to combat the menace of insecurity ravaging us as the security agencies cannot do it alone.
The Department of State Security Services as the primary intelligence agency has always provided early warning signals and collaborated with sister agencies in this regard.
