Killings: Why Buhari Is Irresponsible – Northern Elders

The spokesperson of the Northern Elders Forum (NEF), Ango Abdullahi has slammed the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari over the killings across the country.

Speaking to newsmen, Abdullahi stated that the current insecurity in the North showcases leadership failure and irresponsibility of governance.

He called on Buhari to demonstrate a higher level of concern and sensitivity to the plight of traumatised citizens, especially in Zamfara, Katsina, Kaduna, Benue, Niger, Plateau and Taraba States.

According to Abdullahi, “There is serious irresponsibility of governance in the country, especially in the North; the leadership is not doing enough to meet up the challenges of poverty and under-development.

“We also demand a decisive, comprehensive and fundamental government actions against poverty, underdevelopment and insecurity affecting North as well as show leadership and compassion which are reciprocal expectation of the Nigerian people.”

Abdullahi noted that instead of development, northern states were living under horrendous Boko Haram threats, banditry, kidnapping, armed robbery, marauding youth gangs, herders and farmers clashes.

“It has become imperative for the forum to call President Muhammadu Buhari to respond to threats faced by northern Nigerians following incessant killings in some states,” he observed.
