The Northern Elders Forum (NEF) has slammed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu with a fresh allegation stating that his words, deeds and body language clearly show that he is not interested in the nation’s security.
The Herald reports that a strong member of the NEF, Professor Usman Yusuf, made this assertion in an interview on Arise Television on Tuesday following the tragic incident that occurred in Kaduna on Sunday, December 3.
This online news platform earlier reported that scores of villagers where killed in Kaduna after a bombing by the Nigerian Army, an attack the army claimed was targeted at bandits in the Tudun Biri village of Igabi local government area of the state.
Reacting to the incident, Yusuf questioned the role of the minister of defence, claiming that the president has outsourced the security of the country to the military. He also called for an inquiry into the bomb attack in Kaduna, saying the military cannot investigate itself.
Yusuf said, “Our president and commander in chief, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, from his words, deeds, and body language, is not interested in security. All he’s interested in is the economy, where the money is, and he’s planted his people. Security, banditry, and others appear irritant to him.
“We don’t see the president hands-on with our security. Our military is not supervised by civilian authority; they’ve gone rogue, dropping bombs on our people.”
