How Insecurity Has Overwhelmed Buhari Govt – Obasanjo
Former President and military leader, Olusegun Obasanjo has insisted the government led by President Buhari is undeniably overwhelmed by insecurity.
Reacting to the spate of killings in the country, predominantly the recent Kaduna train attack that left eight reportedly dead and a score of injuries, the politician berated the failure of the Buhari-led administration to militate against insecurity.
The politician cum author weighed in on the state of the nation while playing host to a People’s Democratic Party (PDP) presidential aspirant, Dr Ugochukwu Williams, at his Penthouse residence within the premises of the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library (OOPL), Abeokuta, Ogun State.
Obasanjo stressed on the depth of fear and uncertainty rocking Nigerians, adding Nigerians travelling are no longer safe on the road, in the train and at the airport.
The elder statesman, however harped on the need for collective efforts to take the edge off the ravaging insecurity.
”The situation we are in this country is not a situation where one man will say yes, he has a solution, unless we are deceiving ourselves. I believe that we need to sit down collectively and look at the situation.
A situation where you are not safe on the road, you are not safe on the train, you are not safe at the airport, shows a very serious situation.
I believe that all right-thinking Nigerians must know that we have a situation that has overwhelmed the present administration, but we should not allow that situation to overwhelm Nigeria.”
Meanwhile, the Balogun of Owu has announced he will no longer be associated with party politics.
