Insecurity in Nigeria: Analyst blasts FG

A public commentator in Zamfara State, Ahmed Bakare has condemned the utterances by the Minister of State for Budget and National Planning, Clement Agba alleging the federal government’s inability to tackle insecurity in the country and blaming state governors.

Bakare said governors are not supposed to have any business with security matters because it entirely rests on the shoulders of the federal government of Nigeria.

He said despite that fact, the state governments have continued to supply operational vehicles to security agencies without questioning the federal government.

“The State government is not in any way responsible for the insecurity situation of the states but only helping the federal government to address the security challenges because of the safety of their indigenes”, he added.

“We are very much aware that there are multifaceted challenges facing Nigerians which president Buhari s supposed to have settled before leaving power”

Clement Agba had blamed the 36 governors for the rising poverty index in the country which had according to reports shocked the Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF), forcing it to react swiftly, saying that there was no justification in the minister’s claim.

The public commentator berated the minister for making such utterances, pointing out that most of the problems Nigerians are facing today emanated from the federal government due to some lapses as the government has no foresight to address certain issues in the country
