Expressing concern over the recurring attacks and kidnappings of schoolchildren, Bukarti proposed that if he were President Bola Tinubu, he would deploy all service chiefs and generals from military barracks to Kaduna State until all 287 abducted schoolchildren from Kuriga village in the Chikun Local Government Area are rescued.

Bukarti made these remarks during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Thursday.

He stressed the importance of involving top military officers in rescue missions to effectively address the ongoing security challenges.

Bukarti stated: “We keep saying the Nigerian military is overstretched, I completely agree that the Nigerian military is handling a lot right now but there are thousands of generals in the barracks, there are thousands of military men in the barracks.

“If I were President Tinubu, I am going to deploy each and every general, no general will stay in any barracks and no service chief will be deployed in Abuja, all will be deployed to the field and I will give them a deadline, for example, to rescue the current set of boys and girls abducted.”

Additionally, Bukarti criticized the reluctance of Nigeria’s Western allies to provide essential weapons for combating terrorism, suggesting that such countries should be classified as enemies. He emphasized the need to eliminate corruption from security and law enforcement spending, alleging that corruption hampers the effectiveness of security agencies and demotivates soldiers on the battlefield.

Bukarti reiterated that Nigeria has the capability and resources to rescue the kidnapped schoolchildren but emphasized the necessity of decisive action, including the deployment of ground troops.
