Ayo Adebanjo, leader of the
Yoruba socio-cultural organisation, Afenifere has accused President Muhammadu
Buhari-led Federal Government of failing in the area of security.
Adebanjo said life had never been
so cheap in Nigeria like being witnessed under the Buhari-led administration.
He was reacting to the call by the
Katsina State Governor, Bello Masari that people of his state should arm
themselves for self-defence against bandits.
However, Adebanjo said Masari’s
call was significant because he belongs to the same political party and state
as Buhari.
In a statement by Afenifere’s
mouthpiece, Jare Ajayi, Adebanjo said: “The worst aspect of all these is the
level of insecurity in the country today. At no time in the history of this
Nigeria had life been so cheap and living so precarious as they were presently.
“Unfortunately, those who should
act are expressing their helplessness as exemplified by the call of Katsina
state Governor Bello Masari on the people of the state to find the means of
securing themselves against bandits who have literally taken control in many
parts of the state.
“For sure, Masari was not the
first official to make such a call. But this was very significant not only
because he belongs to the same political party as the president but also
because he is the governor of the President’s home state.
“Rather than confronting the
challenges in various issues that have direct bearings on the life of the
people, the federal government preferred to go for the less impactful things
such as regulating the media, going after those who are peacefully expressing
displeasure over what is going on in the country and concerning itself with
where and how cows are to be grazed in the country.”
