Some Powerful Countries Fueling Nigeria’s Insecurity – Buhari
POLITICS DIGEST – President Muhamamdu Buhari said that the insecurity ravaging the country is being fueled by powerful countries bent on destroying Nigeria.
Buhari made the assertion on Monday in Kano at a presidential lunch after his tour around the state to commission projects by the administration of Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje.
According to him: “One can clearly see how these foreign countries took over the weaker part of Nigeria, the Lake Chad where we have reserves of crude oil, and caused serious mayhem there, with consistent attacks.

The President recalled that in 2015 when he assumed office, only four of Borno’s 17 local government areas were not in the hands of Boko Haram.
“And we are aware that people are using the insurgents who are fraudulent to cause problems, but today most of these local governments [areas] are free,” he said.
Buhari added that those behind the security challenge of the North East knew that Borno was potentially a rich state.
He expressed satisfaction with Ganduje for the infrastructural development in Kano State, commending governors of Lagos, Kaduna, Katsina and Kogi states for also doing good in their respective states.
