President Muhamamdu Buhari has alleged that Nigeria’s insecurity problem is being fueled by some powerful countries.
Buhari made the revelation at a presidential lunch shortly after his tour around Kano state to commission projects by the administration of Governor Ganduje on Monday.
He said, “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 cause serious mayhem there with consistent attacks.”
The president applauded Governor Zulum saying that if he was not serious with his duty, the story of the area around Lake Chad would have been different by now.
Also, Buhari reminded that in 2015 when he assumed office, only four of Borno’s 17 local government areas were not in the hands 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,”.
Similarly, the President added 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.
Also, Buhari expressed happiness with Governor Ganduje for the infrastructural development in Kano State while commending the governors of Lagos, Kaduna, Katsina and Kogi states for doing good in their respective states.
Furthermore, he urged the elite to work on the education of youths, saying the lack of education among them is a problem.
