President Muhammadu Buhari has
replied former President Olusegun Obasanjo who accused him of not doing enough
to tackle the widespread insecurity in the country.
In an open letter on Monday,
Obasanjo criticised Buhari’s government,
saying killings could not be swept under the carpet.
Obasanjo said the rate at which
things were going, Nigeria could experience a situation similar to Rwanda where
there was genocide in 1994.
“To be explicit and without
equivocation, Mr. President and General, I am deeply worried about four
avoidable calamities,” he wrote.
“Violent uprising beginning
from one section of the
country and spreading quickly
to other areas and leading to
dismemberment of the country.”
But speaking with national
executives of the Buhari Campaign Organisation (BCO) at Aso Rock on Tuesday,
the president, who did not specifically mention Obasanjo’s name, said those
criticising the “isolated cases” of insecurity in the country are not
patriotic.
Buhari said every country in the
world is facing one security challenge or the other, adding that banditry and
kidnapping happen across the world.
