Former deputy director of the Department of State Services (DSS), Dennis Amachree, has urged President Bola Tinubu to temporarily set aside political campaigns and concentrate on addressing Nigeria’s security situation.

Amachree, who was a guest on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics, said efforts to reform the country’s security architecture must begin with the Commander-in-Chief, stressing that the responsibility ultimately rests with the President.

Amachree acknowledged the political pressures facing the President but argued that security should take precedence over electoral ambitions.

The ex-DSS deputy director also criticised the slow pace of reforms aimed at strengthening the nation’s security framework, noting that urgent legislation often takes far too long despite the National Assembly’s ability to pass bills quickly when necessary.
