Widows of slain military officers and soldiers particularly those fighting the war against terrorism have protested the continuous release of murderous Boko Haram terrorists on the grounds that they have repented but....wants them punished like other criminals

But the sitting president said "a fight against BH terrorists is a fight against the North...." while a
Nigerian Army General under the APC government is saying "Boko Haram should lay their arms unconditionally, be accepted in the community and rehabilitated.

An ex Boko Haram having laid his arms stands to be a president of this country. He stands to aspire to any position in this country.

Now there you all have it Nigerians. Most of the supporters of bandits cum terrorists are obvious to the world. While the insecurity did not start with the present government.

It is most unfortunate is the lack and absence of competence, commitment, prudent use of resources, patriotism and passion on the part of the APC-led government/leaders to effectively govern, galvanize & ead Nigeria where no one is unwarrantedly oppressed and killed, a Nation where peace, truth and justice reign!

So sad, deplorable and pathetic.

Just like Buhari that declared "an Attack on Boko Haram is an Attack on the North", majority of Northerners are apólógists of BH.

So anyone who genuinely wants the fight BH must be ready to step on the toes of Northerners.
Of course we all know that Tinubu is never ready to do that.

The responses of government officials to the security crisis in Nigeria over the years have been quite revealing.
Re: Insecurity; Views Of Some Top Nigerian Government Officials by Racoon(op):
Katsina Governor Aminu Masari, openly admitting that Fulanis are the bandits killing and kidnapping Nigerians, said they don’t deserve amnesty.

Joe Igbokwe and his basket mouth. I'm happy Tinubu has happened to him.

You can imagine the former Governor of Zamfara State and current Minister of State for Defence telling us that not all bandits are criminals.

One might want to ask: who is a bandit?

Is someone who is classified as a bandit not engaging in criminality?

Today, the same fella is the minister of state for defense? Surprised Nigeria is engulfed by widespread deteriorating insecurity under these fellas?

As par someone they do the thinking for, your have retrograde amnesia that the people you are trying in futility to defend when to the US to do the opposite in 2014-15
