90% Of Nigeria’s Insecurity Is Politically Motivated – Gov. Yahaya Bello

Yahaya Bello, the governor of Kogi state, claims that over 90% of the country’s present security concerns are politically biased.

When the governor received the Commander-General of HCN, Joshua Osotimehin, in his office today, Saturday, November 13, he expressed this sentiment. According to him, President Buhari inherited a country whose security system was already decaying, ill-motivated and not well trained.

As he puts it

“President Buhari inherited a country that was drifting security-wise, economic wise and otherwise. Mr. President inherited a country where bombs are being detonated every day in the North-East even in Abuja.

Mr. President inherited a security system that was already decaying, ill-motivated, ill-equipped and not well trained. Mr. President has reviewed the welfare package of all the security forces in this country severally.

I make bold to say that more than you can imagine, 90 per cent, of the insecurity we are witnessing today in our country is largely political, be it Boko Haram, banditry and farmers/herders clash, and even assassination sometimes, kidnapping.”
