Insecurity: Nigerians Who Can’t See What Buhari Is Doing Are Miserable — Femi Adesina

President Buhari’s spokesperson, Femi Adesina, described people who cannot understand what the regime is doing to fight insecurity as “pitiable souls and the most miserable of all men” in a piece published on his Facebook page on Thursday.

The Nigerian Army, he added, was fighting robbers, terrorists, and kidnappers.

“Amazing and confounding because what the Buhari government does daily in the North-east, North-west, and North-central parts of the country, where terrorists and bandits abound, is send them to God to answer for their crimes,” Mr Adesina said.

“All over the country, terrorists, bandits, kidnappers, all types of criminals are being spoken to in the language they understand.

And victory of good over evil is sure, inexorable.

Yet some people say they see nothing that government is doing. Pitiable souls. Of all men most miserable,” he added.

Mr Adesina said those who say Mr Buhari is soft on bandits and terrorists while clamping down on secessionists speak out of ignorance and hatred.

“Why then do some people claim that certain troublers of the country are being treated with softer hands, than some others?,” he asked.

“This could be due to deliberate ignorance, mischief, or pure hatred.”

Bandits have increased their coordinated attacks and kidnappings for ransom in Niger, Katsina, Zamfara, and Kaduna states in recent months.

Over 100 students who were kidnapped in Tegina, Niger state, are still being held captive.

Bandits also bombed a Nigerian Air Force Alpha Jet in Zamfara in July.
