Buhari blames Nigeria's security woes on foreign govts

President Buhari believes security challenges are fueled by powerful countries bent on destroying Nigeria.

The president made this known in Kano on Monday, January 30 at a presidential launch following his tour around the state to commission projects by the administration of Governor Ganduje.

According to him: “One can clearly see how these foreign countries took on our weaker part of Nigeria, the Lake Chad where we have reserves of crude oil, and cause serious mayhem there with consistent attacks.”

But for Governor Zulum who is serious with his duty, the story of the area around Lake Chad would have been different by now, Buhari said.

The President reminded that in 2015 when he assumed office, only four of Borno’s 17 local government areas were not in the hands of Boko Haram.

“And we are aware that people are using the insurgents who are fraudulent to cause problems, but today most of these local governments [areas] are free,” he said.
