Former Kano State Governor, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso has lambasted Buhari, accusing him of bringing about an unprecedented level of disaster on the country.
Kwankwaso, also a former Minister of Defence and now a national leader of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), revealed this in an interactive session in Abuja on Friday.
Kwankwaso said the Buhari administration has nothing more to offer to tackle insecurity.
He said that as a former minister of defence, he was shocked that insecurity in the country would degenerate to the current level.
Kwankwaso said, “I am sure every military man or anybody like me who had the opportunity to associate with the military must be very worried and surprised with what is happening in the country.”
“We heard what happened recently concerning the train attack. Before then, it was the only hope that Nigerians were having to go to Kaduna and link up to other places. Many people advised that the train could be attacked but nothing was done and people were killed and abducted. Only God knows what they are experiencing but we know it is horrible. They are really not talking about how these people who were kidnapped should be rescued.
“Government should be more serious about security. As a former minister of defence, I never thought insecurity would go this low in this country within a short period of time. I always sit down to ask myself ‘how did we find ourselves in this mess?’ But as we always say, our issue is leadership,” he added.
He said the APC political leadership is not strong enough to motivate the military and ensure that they are given what they require in terms of training, equipment, arms and ammunition.
He said, “They (APC led government) had the opportunity to do something for this country but they didn’t. Nigerians are angry. Nigerians would do whatever they can to vote and protect their vote.
“All those involved in the elections, even security agents are not happy. The election of 2023 will be between those who are happy with the system and those who want change. I can assure you that those who are not happy are many.”
