The Presidency has blamed the latest kidnappings in the North on political forces in the northern region plotting to destabilise the country under President Bola Tinubu’s watch.

Presidential spokesman Ajuri Ngelale disclosed this in an interview with TVC on Sunday night.

Asked how soon Mr Tinubu’s government will curtail the resurgence of mass schoolchildren abductions witnessed in Kaduna and Sokoto last week, Mr Ngelale said much work had gone into securing the country, resulting in relative stability in the South-East.

“Where we still have some challenges is in the North-Central, North-West and to a large extent in the North-East. There is still a lot of work to be done,” Mr Ngelale said.

He added, “I will say this: across the North, we understand that some of the sub-regional geopolitical forces that are currently at play are actively conspiring against the stability of the Nigerian nation.”

The presidential media aide did not state specifically who the “sub-regional geopolitical forces” are.

However, Mr Ngelale revealed that the U.S. government was collaborating with Nigerian authorities to secure the rescue of over 280 schoolchildren kidnapped in Kaduna.

“It is worth noting that the United States government has also pledged its assistance to ensure that there is a full return of all of the schoolchildren who were kidnapped recently in Kaduna,” Mr Ngelale said.

He stressed that the point “is we are going to continue to intensify our collaboration not just within the region, but internationally to make sure that some of the regional actors that are conspiring against our nation are brought to justice and ultimately silenced in the future.”

Mr Tinubu had condemned the kidnappings, charging security agencies to rescue the schoolchildren and others.

Amnesty International and Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party berated Mr Tinubu for failing in its basic responsibility of securing life and property while calling for the rescue of abducted citizens.

Mr Ngelale’s statement attributing waves of kidnappings in Borno, Kaduna and Sokoto that left over 300 people abducted last week to political forces in Northern Nigeria contradicts facts on the ground.

You can just imagine, what kind of headline is this, working to sabotage the government isn't something new, it happened in 2013,2014, 2015... so rather than complain deal with it just like others did, Tinubu and Muhammadu Buhari conspired to Sabotage Jonathan's government, Boko Haram even appointed Buhari as thier spokesman

They are not working to destabilise the government. The North sees APC as their party and that's why they always vote for APC.

However, insecurity has become a big business in the North - the biggest business, actually. Politicians, security operatives and ordinary people have keyed into it as a survival strategy.

let them work and scatter nigeria once and for all

It’s the Jonathan’s playbook all over again.

The ogidi the North served GEJ, is now being given to BAT

Tinubu, your conspiracy will not work against my Northern brothers... We care less about your rudderless govt!


Were you not the one that gave the idea of destabilizing GEJ's govt to your advantage? you forgot to quench the little fire 🔥 you made, now that it has become a conflagration you are running haywire!


You've ran away with power, now act with it make everybody feel good governance na

Ohhh
It’s no more obidients and what they post online

Who will they blame next?

It does not deny the fact that tinupoo is a failure.

Tinupoo is an affliction.

Lolz... Law of karma..

While they were busy fighting Peter Obi

The only difference was that Jonathan was an honest man, fighting this crook is easy.

2027 won't be funny at all

The same mistake that North made during Jonathan era, same they want to repeat..

Who is suffering today the consequences is it the South or North.

The North are the ones suffering now.

They are back to the era of trading blames and holding other people responsible for their inefficiency and failure. With so much money going to the federal, states, and local govts as security vote, one will think the nation will at least be 95% safe for citizens. But no.

When Jonathan was going through it tinubu APC called it incompetency.

One of the characteristics of a failure is blaming others for his woes.

Tinubu knows this was used against Jonathan by then APC

Whao! They ganged up to installed the insecurity ravaging their area( Buhari, Tinubu, El-Rufai, northern governors, Lai Mohammed etc ). Today the ripple effects will not go away. Whatever goes around comes around. Meanwhile,

Northern forces, ko, Emirates armies ni. A bad worker always complain of bad tools. Tinubu is a failure, take it or leave it.

Law of karma.

One must not be bestowed with the title of a hawk and fail to grab chicken. You are the president for a reason,act and stop blaming.

I was expecting something huge and catastrophic from North...but they're incapable of mustaring talkless of sustaining protests or uprising. They are Very docile and easy to control. So... nothing will happen to tinubu regime... northern groups are useless. Throw them few coins and they will sing your praises.

So it no longer pitobi according to agbdorians, what goes around comes around. Fastest government to fail!

These nothern politicians...They started planning for 2027....
E go shock these northerners.Tinubu is not Jonathan.

The cry of a FAILLURE
The cry of a ONE NIGERIA mo.ron

I think they misjudge Tinubu, they are not even original in their thinking, same terrorist attack, same kidnapping, same senators rilling up the public with inflammatory statements just because they want power.

Tinubu must work at building bridges with the South, The Igbo man will bring progress, Nigerians must ensure that power returns to the south for now, so we can stabilize the country,

the North will run Nigeria to the ground, they cannot produce nor create, they cannot lead, they can only rule. Any mistake will see Nigeria destroyed for posterity's sake, we must have a strong South-Middle Belt Alliance to diminish the assault on this country.
A word is enough for the wise

Hypocrite you are!

You and your likes supported them when it was against GEJ.

Fulani and Yoruba are one

Insecurity happened under Buhari. This has been the case with APC and not any Northern agenda
