Insecurity: Gani Adams Says Buhari Lacks Courage To Tackle Insecurity

Gani Adams, the Aare Onakakanfo of Yorubaland has condemned President Muhammadu Buhari's response to the incessant killings and kidnappings happening across the country.

Gani Adams said despite being a former military head, President Buhari lacks the capacity to address the spate of insecurity in the country, adding that leadership remains Nigeria's biggest problem

AllNews learnt that the 50-year-old traditional aristocrat said this after his ordination as an Apostle at the Saviour’s Ministries in Lagos on Sunday. 

Adams blamed President Buhari for the security situation in the country, saying the recent abduction of over 300 students in a school in Katsina State is clear evidence of the porous security situation in the country.

He, however, posited that the present situation in the country no doubt stresses that the call for restructuring is long overdue in the country, declaring that the present administration under Buhari has failed to address the spate of insecurity in the country.

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 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, 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.”

He also stressed that the poor economic situation in Nigeria is affecting the masses.

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

Speaking further, he said the call for restructuring is long overdue in the country. “The calls for restructuring is not a threat, but a wake-up call from patriotic Nigerians who have sacrificed their time, lives, and resources to make this country great.”
