NATIONAL: Kakanra abduction affirms Buhari’s lack of courage to tackle insecurity — Gani Adams

GANI Adams, the Aare Onakakanfo of Yorubaland, has said President Buhari should be blamed for the growing insecurity in the country for failing to display the courage expected of a leader during crisis.

Adams said this after his ordination as an Apostle at the Saviour’s Ministries in Lagos State on Sunday.

He spoke against the background of the abduction of students in Government Science Secondary School in Katsina State on Friday.

He said: “There is no denying the fact that Nigeria is at a crossroads because the present situation in the country is a pointer to the fact that this government has failed.

“How can you explain the abduction of about 600 students in a school? It is saddening to accept this as a parent, but also ridiculous as a leader who knows much about what it takes to lead a country like Nigeria.

“The abduction happened in Katsina State, the country home of the president, where he was presently on a week-long visit. It is absurd.

“The whole event is a justification of the failures of the present administration under Buhari and Nigeria is in for a long battle against insurgency.”

The Yoruba leader also noted that Nigeria cannot afford another case of missing students as witnessed in Chibok, Borno State, stating that the economic situation in the country is affecting the citizens.

He said: “I am not an economist, but from the economic indices available at the public domain, Nigerian naira has fallen badly to the United States dollars. It is a bad signal, especially, at this time of recession where the economy is slipping downwards.”

Adams also advised President Buhari not to see the calls for restructuring as a threat, but a wake-up call from patriotic Nigerians who are have sacrificed their time, lives and resources to make this country great.
