He said the Buhari administration and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) should not be blamed for the security problems.
He said:
“When people talk about the recent insecurity in our country, I keep saying that the insecurity did not just develop overnight.”
“It has been a result of the failure of our past leaders to address the future of our youths. And this is the truth. So it’s not a question of blaming Mr President or blaming Governors or blaming APC or PDP; it is systematic and it has been there for a very long time.
Going further, he called for consultation in solving the country’s security issues.
