The Coalition of Northern Groups (CNG) has described the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari as the worst in the history of the country.
There is a recent order by President Buhari for troops to get merciless with bandits but there have been renewed regular attacks on passengers on the Kaduna-Abuja highway.
The spokesperson of the Coalition, Mr. Abdul-Azeez Suleiman, while reacting to the recent rise in attacks, killings, and kidnappings in the North while the presidency issues empty threats, said the government has completely lost control of the region’s forests and highways to armed criminals who roam freely and terrorize the population with ease.
“While all northern states governors have completely run out of ideas, the President and federal troops keep telling us that they are doing something about the daunting security situation, but by now all northerners must have realized that our communities have been abandoned to the mercy of unforgivable poverty and armed criminals that continuously waste the greatest asset of the region; its population, weakening us politically and pauperizing the region economically.
“Enough of taking excuses and fake promises of action from an administration that runs from threats and acquired the reputation of being the worst in the history of our nation in terms of any capacity to generate confidence in its ability to achieve security of citizens’ lives and properties.
“All northerners are by now alarmed at the rising insecurity of communities and their properties in the with the escalation of attacks by bandits, rustlers insurgents and other assortments of armed criminals who roam towns and villages at will, wrecking havoc.”
The Coalition noted that the situation is getting worse literally by the day, as bandits and insurgents take advantage of the huge vacuum in the administration’s political will and capacity to act which they exploit with disastrous consequences on communities and individuals.
