President Muhamamdu Buhari has named those responsible for the country’s insecurity just days before the presidential election.
Buhari stated that external forces are those who want to destroy the country.
The president made the remarks during a presidential lunch in Kano on Monday, following a tour of the state to commission projects overseen by Governor Abdullahi Ganduje‘s administration.
According to him:
One can clearly see how these foreign countries took on our weaker part of Nigeria, the Lake Chad where we have reserves of crude oil, and causes serious mayhem there with consistent attacks.
But for Governor Zulum who is serious with his duty, the story of the area around Lake Chad would have been different by now.”
The president stated that when he took over power in 2015 only four of Borno’s 17 local government areas were not under the control of Boko Haram.
And we are aware that people are using the insurgents who are fraudulent to cause problems, but today most of these local governments [areas] are free, he said.
Speaking further, he stated that those behind the insecurities knew that Borno was potentially a rich state.
That was why when I was a governor there, I went to Niger, Chad and even Cameroon because you need your neighbours to survive, he stated.
Buhari, who congratulated Governor Ganduje on Kano State’s infrastructure development, also praised the governors of Lagos, Kaduna, Katsina, and Kogi states for doing good in their respective states.
The president also urged the elite to work on youth education, citing a lack of education as a problem.
