The Presidency has stated that it agrees with a London-based news magazine, The Economist, which reported that Nigeria’s insecurity worsened since President Muhammadu Buhari assumed office in 2015, but noted that the administration has not folded its arms either.

The Senior Special Assistant, Media and Publicity to the President, Garba Shehu, stated this in a reaction to the London magazine’s publication.

The Economist in the report had described the Buhari government as inept and high-handed, adding that he had also failed to tackle corruption.

The 178-year-old magazine said these in an editorial titled, “The Crime Scene at the Heart of Africa,” which was published in its October 23, 2021, issue.

It said due to the Buhari’s mismanagement of the economy, food prices had soared while life had become more difficult for Nigerians.

According to People’s Gazette, Shehu, in a reaction, said, “The Economist is also accurate to state that they (insecurity challenges) have come to a head under President Buhari and the All Progressives Congress (APC) administration.”

While admitting that insecurity has taken a deep plunge, spiralling out of control, Shehu defended the Nigerian leader as more purposeful and pragmatic than previous administrations.

“Yet they do so, because for so long, under previous administrations, whether military or democratic, tough decisions have been ducked, and challenges never fully met – with the effect of abetting these dangers and allowing them all to fester and grow,” the presidential spokesman claimed.

“It is only the Buhari leadership which has sought – ever, in over one hundred years – to identify the root causes of the herder-farmer clashes and find durable solutions.”

In July, the bandits shut down a Nigerian Air Force jet in Zamfara and invaded the Nigerian Defence Academy Kaduna the following month.

Although Buhari acknowledged bandits have been terrorising the country, his administration has been reluctant to declare bandits as terrorists because they have yet to declare a political or religious goal, a key requisite in designating a movement as terrorists under international regulations.

Maxymilliano:
Are you sure this is not a slip of tongue from garbage Shehu as Femi Adesina will not want to agree to this.

The only means of transportation you will feel a little safe when traveling in Nigeria is by air. And how many people in Nigeria can afford the T-fare of planes. No be say every state even get local airport. Buhari's administration has failed woefully. Make we no dey deceive ourselves. Though I wont like to give him all the blames

SarkinYarki:


How safe is even that one ? Planes are flying not because the govt has done anything to protect them but becuase the bandits have not put their mind to start stopping planes

Kastonkastroll:
Those bandits levels never reach for them to get anti-aircrafts rocket launchers. Forget propaganda

SarkinYarki:


The bandits that have shot down two Alfa jets in the last 12 months ? The same bandits that had a powerful 128mm anti aircraft gun with them recently?

This insecurity in our nation will be a thing of the past.
Any politician involved in the innocent killings of our citizens will never end well in life.



As election is around the corner once again,
Naija Youths,
Wake Up and use your brain.
If you collect money from any politician to campaign and vote for them, the suffering you are going through will be transferred to your unborn kids.

Any one here that is being paid to support or campaign for any evil and support any looting politician, or you collect money from any politician AT ALL to support and campaign for them, no matter how small it is.
Then your suffering and frustrations will be permanent in your miserable lives.

If you just want to start collecting money from any politician to vote for them and not voting for the people (good men and women) that will move this nation forward, all these prayers will go to your head with immediate effect,
More, If you have collected any money in the past,
You shall never succeed in all you lay your hands on.

No be curse,
Na FACT!

Sane Naija youths, use your heads and vote for the man or woman that will better your lives and those of your children.
Nigeria will be great again in our lifetime whether the evil ones likes it or not.
Nigeria will succeed.

We Rise!
