Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar on Friday criticized Goodluck Jonathan’s administration over poor handling of security in the country. He avowed that Boko Haram could have been eliminated since, if politicians had chosen to do so.
While speaking with newsmen, he accused Jonathan and his ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP) of being responsible for the death of thousands of Nigerians since 2009, having failed to arrest the state of insecurity in the country.
“This insurgency shouldn’t have lasted even for six months,” he told AFP in Abuja and recalled sectarian religious violence in the northeast state of Yobe during his time in office. Continue..
“Within weeks, we crushed it because we did not neglect military training and, of course, we did not lack the leadership and the capacity to take decisions,” he added.
Abubakar claimed His criticism of Jonathan’s government was constructive, with few visible improvements in tackling corruption, poor governance and accountability in addition to the worsening security situation.
“I told Nigerians that he (Jonathan) did not have the capacity, he didn’t have the experience. He didn’t have anything, yet they gave him the chance, the opportunity,” he added.
“And they can now see the chance and the opportunity they gave him. Of course I’m more experienced than he is. I believe my capacity cannot be compared with his, in all respect.”
