Afenifere expresses concern about the increase in terrorist activities in Nigeria and the government's handling of security. Nigerians deserve leadership that can end terrorism.
Abductions, killings and general insecurity have lately gone haywire again, leaving on the trail a growing discontent and vote of no confidence in the Federal Government’s handling of security. But beyond President Muhammadu Buhari’s request for forgiveness for the misfortune visited on Nigerians in the last eight years, he should admit that he has a defining problem in his hands, and man up towards a parameter that will end terrorism in Nigeria. Otherwise, he should admit governance failure.
We cannot agree more with Afenifere. Since the completion of the 2023 election, there has been a phenomenal upsurge in terrorist activities nationwide, especially in Benue State, where hundreds of citizens have been massacred in many terrorist attacks. One of the campaign promises of Buhari was to defeat the Boko Haram insurgency, and terrorism in Nigeria before leaving office. But it is now clear that the Buhari government is incapable of defeating Boko Haram, and terrorism in Nigeria.
Given the upsurge in terrorist activities across Nigeria at the moment, the Buhari government should wage the final war against terrorist activities before leaving office. It is hypocritical for Buhari to ask for forgiveness when there are no sincere concerted efforts on the part of his government to defeat terrorism.
