How insecurity in Nigeria was created – Former Chief of Army Staff, Tukur Buratai
A former Chief Of Army Staff (COAS), Lt. General Tukur Buratai, has said the insecurity bedeviling the nation since 2009 was the creation of the political class.
He said this on Friday, November 3, while delivering a lecture at the 65th anniversary of the University of Ibadan Alumni Association.
National Daily reports that he also took a swipe at critics calling for his sack over insecurity in the country while he was in office, saying such call stemmed from personal biases rather than an objective evaluation of his performance.
The National Assembly had twice or more passed resolutions calling for the sack of the service chiefs.
It was a direct confrontation blaming the service chiefs as if they are the ones who started insecurity. The insecurity being faced in the country since 2009 was the creation of the political class.
With a strong political will, it can be surmounted,” he was quoted as saying.
