President Buhari betrays Nigerians, because he mortgages them to insurgents, terrorists and bandits in expense of political extremism.-By Maishanu.

President Buhari betrays Nigerians, because he mortgages them to insurgents, terrorists and bandits in expense of political extremism.-By Maishanu.

Even though, the events of the so-called insurgents and terrorists has started in Late President Umar Musa Yar’adua/Dr. Goodluck Jonathan administration which persists when the former President of Nigeria (Dr. G. Jonathan) took over the Nigerian political spectrum from his boss (Late President Umar Musa Yar’adua) to the extent that the current president of Nigeria contested for the office of the President of Nigeria and consequently won the race against his political rivals both in 2015 and 2019.

Though, his victory in 2019 was a product of election malpractice and manipulation through military intervention. 

Unfortunately, prior to the victories of President Muhammadu Buhari. However, I strongly believe that you would agree with me that the volume and frequency of insecurity in Nigeria was not as it is today. Because at that time, the events of insurgents and terrorists in Nigeria were less pronounced in some parts of Northern Nigeria.

But when the current President of our country took over the affairs of our country he was saw by millions of Nigerians making mouth that he would solve the problem of insecurity in Nigeria.

Because and “therefore, according to him, the so-called PDP under the watch of his political rival, the problem of insecurity in Nigeria can never entirely be addressed. But to our surprise, even the president (PMB) that makes a series of prouds about himself and confrontations on the state of insecurity in the past against his political rival is seen by us in the field of shame and failure. Which triggers me to have no option than to brand him as a “traitor” or a “grandpatron” of “Nigerian political prouders without deliverance especially on security in Nigeria or a president that betrays us due to his “I don’t care attitude” to do the right thing at the right time”.

Moreover, the question then became: How on earth, a president that spent all his time in political opposition challenging his political rivals over their inabilities to address the problems of insecurity in the country and now refuse to accept his inability to deliver or fulfill his campaign promises which every citizen of Nigeria expect would come through a rejuvenation of Nigeria or re-invention of security since it was at the top of his campaign promises? 

Accordingly, “if Gen. Muhammadu Buhari that was saw in 2003,2007,2011 and 2015 criticizing PDP politicians and getting away it, is the one that today is arresting and detaining critics.

Then, I have the right to call him an accidental politician without democratic qualifications or political credentials. But introduced to Nigerian politics in 2003 by selfish Nigerians just to achieve what they are displaying shamelessly at Nigerian political action”. 

Despite, all the criticisms and confrontations poured on the so-called former Presidents of Nigeria over their failures to address the problem of insecurity in Nigeria.  He however, established a joint headquarters in Chad with the sole aim of combating the subversion of insurgents and terrorists through military aspects which leads to a different forms of counter-insurgency lacunas.

Even worse, he has failed to expose those behind the insurgency and terrorism in Nigeria talkless of educating Nigerians to know the foreign hands, hostile neighbours and domestic sponsors of the insurgency and terrorism in our abandoned country. Too bad, because even the ring leaders of insurgents and terrorists in Nigeria after Gen. M. Buhari became a Nigerian President were not arrested and punish.

To tell the truth, even to declare a disband on the proliferation of weapons to Nigeria through our porous borders was not done by his powerless government. But he ends of escalating the events of insurgents and terrorists from North East to other parts of the Northern Nigeria which if cares are not taken would spread to the new areas. 

Therefore, I could remember vividly that when our President was busy calling his political rivals all sort of names. Then, thousands of Nigerians thought that he would perform too far beyond his political rivals. But unknown to those who believes in his fake struggle were put to shame by him. 

Finally, those who puts themselves into thinking that PMB and his security apparatuses can effectively and sufficiently defeat insurgency and terrorism through military aspects should note that they are doing nothing but fooling themselves.

Because President Muhammadu Buhari that retires from military as General with a zero background in insurgency and measures to combat it through non-military can never eradicate the menace of insurgency and reestablish a law and order in Nigeria.

Therefore, even a professor with a vast knowledge of Criminology and Security Studies. But having a zero background in insurgency and measures to combat it through non-military cannot behave like PMB and his blindfolded defenders.

Because combating insurgency is too far beyond being a “General” or a “Professor”. According to Mr. Thompson (1960), counter-insurgency is not about pouring troops in the jungles. But in the hearts and minds. While, according to McNamara security  means development. And where there is no development there is no security. He further argues that security entails development.

PS: Our President should note that the best way that he can succeed in combating insurgency and terrorism is to bend himself and seek for knowledge of counter-insurgency from experts not from professors and generals.

Because a vast of knowledge especially on how to address the problems of insurgency and terrorism in Nigeria is with the experts who have not attained a level of Doctorship, professorship and generalship.

And the worst that our president could do to our country is to travel far away in search of who would come to our country and help us to fight against insurgency and terrorism. Because we have all the experts here in our country.
