Senator Ahmed Makarfi a former Caretaker Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has lent his voice for the restructuring of all security agencies in Nigeria.
Delivering his comment in Rivers State, the former Governor of Kaduna State said institutions of government must be restructured to serve Nigerians rather than leaders and politicians.
Makarfi said: “The way Nigerian institutions operate currently, they only serve the interest of the leaders to the detriment of the citizens.
“If you look at the armed forces, police, customs and other agencies of government, they always serve the interest of the leaders and carry out orders whether lawful or unlawful.
“The armed forces should be more interested in defending the territorial integrity of Nigeria rather than elections.
“The police will also favour those in power. Customs will clear goods as long as there are instructions from the political leaders. These institutions should be serving the the people.
“All Nigerians must be equal before the law. That is one restructuring of the institutions that must be done.”
