Reveal Sponsors Of Terrorism In Nigeria — Ajulo Charges Buhari

A constitutional lawyer, Kayode Ajulo, has praised President Muhammadu Buhari’s Independence Day address to the nation, calling it “inspiring.”

He did, however, advise that terrorism’s funders be identified in order to reduce the threat.

“The recent arrests of Nnamdi Kanu and Sunday Adeyemo (Ighogho), and further investigations being conducted, expose certain high-profile funders behind these individuals,” the president said in a Friday broadcast.

He went on to say that the government was “vigorously investigating these financiers, including one who is a serving member of the national assembly.”

Buhari, on the other hand, remained tight-lipped about the funders’ identities.

In response, Ajulo, a former National Secretary of the Labour Party (LP), stated that it had become critical to identify sponsors of insecurity.

“The sponsors should be named, apprehended and made to face the full weight of the law.

“We need to name and deal with them accordingly, within the ambit of the law.

“Since the inception of this administration, Nigerians have been assured of the government’s utmost attention to security, which the Federal Government has vigorously pursued.

“We need to be reassured, hence the need to name and deal with terrorism sponsors accordingly,” he told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos.

“Youth interventions should be all encompassing; there should be a holistic engagement,” Ajulo added.

The president had acknowledged the youths as “great propellants for today and guarantee for a secure tomorrow.

“It is for this reason that I remain focused on expanding opportunities for their participation in politics and governance.

“Recent appointments of young people into positions of authority and their track records so far give me confidence that we need to bring more of them into governance. I promise to do more of this.”
