including former President Olusegun Obasanjo are not patriotic.
Buhari who was apparently replying former President Obasanjo who accused
him of not doing enough to tackle the widespread insecurity in the
country, said insecurity is not peculiar to Nigeria.
In an open letter on Monday, Obasanjo criticized 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.
