Second Republic lawmaker, Dr. Junaid Mohammed says President Muhammadu Buhari is “a threat to the security of the country”.
He stated this while reacting to the President’s comments that security in the country was now better than in 2015, when he came to power.
Junaid Mohammed said that nothing could be farther from the truth.
“As regards the statement made by the President concerning security in the country generally and northeast, I think President Muhammadu Buhari is been economical with the truth.
“First, I believe within this week, there are three or four attacks. And any leader who can give himself pass mark not to talk of half when the situation on ground is the reverse is not sincere or honest with people of this country.
“Nobody likes conflicts, lack of security but it is absolutely unbearable for leaders to invent lies in order to give himself credits for what he has not done and for which he cannot claim credit for. “In addition also, it does not add any value or credibility to the government, the party, military and the President himself.

“They have failed woefully. Nigerians including former heads of states have come out openly to say that Nigeria is already a failed state. I can’t see how any leader can come out and start claiming credit and giving himself kudos when he did nothing.
“I see not only his statement but I see he himself as a threat to the security of the country.
“Because if you cannot tell the people you govern the truth you are a positive threat to them. Because only when the people know the truth they will be able to follow you,” Junaid Mohammed said.
