Former Vice President and a presidential aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Atiku Abubakar, said yesterday in Abuja that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is defective in conducting free and fair elections.
On
the insecurity in the country, he said: “I am absolutely upset and
angry with this insecurity situation. I don’t believe that as a country,
we have done enough to secure this country. These bunch of Boko Haram insurgents have been operating for nearly four or five years now. Knowing Nigeria, we pride ourselves as having the best armed forces on this continent.
“I
really don’t know where things went wrong. Is it the armed forces or
the political leaders? I just can’t believe what is happening. I am not
in a position to explain it
because I am not in government. But I don’t believe that this is a
situation that Nigeria would not have dealt a very fatal blow within
three to six months.
“I remember that when we were in office,
such a group wanted to emerge in Yobe State and we smashed that group
completely within a couple of weeks. That such a group should be allowed
to operate for four or five years in this country and even saying they
have occupied part of the country, hoisting flag and nobody is doing
anything is unbelievable.
