Moghalu slams Buhari over rising insecurity, open gazing

Former deputy governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria and political economist, Kingsley Moghalu, has blamed the administration of President Muhammdu Buhari for the rising insecurity in the country.

Reacting to Governor Aminu Masari of Katsina state admission of his mistakes in negotiating with terrorists and his new opposition to open grazing by herdsmen, Moghalu said President Buhari undermined Nigeria’s security that he swore an oath to protect under the constitution with his sentimental attachment to open grazing.

While commending Masari for his truthfulness, Moghalu said the president open support for open grazing doesn’t belong in the 21st century and facilitates violent land grabs by terrorist herdsmen, essentially invaders from neighboring foreign countries whose entry has been facilitated by what to all practical intent and purpose is an “open border” policy.

“The road to protecting our lives in Nigeria begins with the right mindset in our authorities. Thank God for Gov. Masari’s belated realizations. But thousands of lives have been lost by the incompetent and misguided approach of Nigeria’s political leaders to the existential threat of terrorism, which has ravaged Northern Nigeria most of all. May the President of Nigeria go to sleep and wake up with a new vision!” he added.
