Attahiru Bafarawa Attahiru Bafarawa

Former Sokoto Governor, Attahiru Bafarawa, has said that those praising the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), over the state of security in Nigeria are sycophants and hypocrites.

Bafarawa who spoke to British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) Hausa stated that Buhari has performed woefully in the area of security.

The former presidential aspirant also lamented that the North has been held down by insurgents, kidnappers and banditry with no visible infrastructure since 2015.

“Nothing good seems to be working for us Northerners. Insecurity has since held our region by the jugular.

“The North has become the object of ridicule and pity. In the areas of education and commerce, we lead from the rear in the comity of Nigeria’s geo-political zones.

“There are claims that President Buhari is working and transforming the entire country. But I dare say that the North has not felt his impact since he came on board,” he said.

He also advised the president to listen to wise counsel in order to be able to solve the issue with security in the country.
