Ekiti State Governor Kayode Fayemi has come under backlash for urging President Muhammadu Buhari to turn National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) camps into security training grounds and recruit graduates to join the military and the police.
According to Fayemi, this is one of the cheapest and fastest ways to handle this was to amend the law setting up the scheme.
He however said that corps members, who cannot join the military services, can serve in their communities without pay.
Reacting to this Nigerians on social media urged him to lead by example by bringing his children abroad to join the military.
@dbassboi, ”After all the sufferings in school, when it’s now time for parents to reap their labor, they should lose their sons and daughters to the hand of Boko haram and bandits. You have children also, Mr. Fayemi, Please recruit your children to fight them.”
@SodiqTade, ”Osinbajo is their best choice in that party for the sake of the country if at all APC get to rig the 2023 election successfully. I can’t have Tinubu who believed in 50m battalion or Fayemi that believed Corp members should be used to beef up the country security.”
@magnus_coker, ”Some suggestions to Gov. Fayemi of Ekiti State: 1. His children should be at the forefront of this security campaign.
2. He and other governors should reduce the number of DSS operatives, Police personnel, and Civil Defense personnel on their security detail.”
@abeesoyeh, ”I just hope all your Children would also be among the troop to fight the bandits. Wicked souls after siphoning all the funds meant for the masses, your next agenda is to start your suicide mission.”
