Garba Shehu, presidential spokesman, says some politicians
paid miscreants to boo President Muhammadu Buhari in Borno state.
On Wednesday, some residents of the state booed the
president as his convoy made its way into Maiduguri. Buhari was on a condolence
visit to the state over the killing of 30 citizens at Auno on Sunday.
In an interview with the Hausa service of the BBC, in Abuja,
on Thursday, Shehu said only miscreants protested against the president’s
visit.
“I was part of the delegation that entered Maiduguri right
from the airport to the palace of the Shehu of Borno. The people came out to
say thank you and welcome us,” Shehu said.
“But there was a group which came out shouting ‘we don’t
want’.
“Some politicians gathered some miscreants and paid them
money to boo Buhari.”
The presidential spokesman said the administration has the
capacity to fight the insurgents.
During the visit, Babagana Zulum, governor of the state,
told the president that the military needed to change its strategy in the fight
against Boko Haram.
He said the military needs to take the war to the insurgents
in their hideouts.
