A former President of Nigeria, Olusegun Obasanjo has backed President of the United States of America, Donald Trump over his plan to deploy his security force to the country to address the insecurity challenges in Nigeria.
Obasanjo said Tinubu’s government is incapable of addressing the phenomenon, noting that Trump’s potential intervention remains the only panacea to solve the catastrophe.
The former President said this while speaking at the Plateau Unity Christmas and Praise Festival, ongoing at the Ten Commandments Prayer Altar, Dwei-Du, Jos South LGA of Plateau State.
His words, “No matter what religion you belong to, no matter where you come from, no matter what profession, we Nigerians are being killed. And our governments seem to be incapable of protecting us. We are part of the war community. If our government cannot do it, we have right to call on the international community to do for us.
“What our government cannot do for us and for anybody to say because those who have been killed belong to this region, belong to this religion, belong to this tribe and then others too have been killed cannot be an acceptable excuse.
“Before I left government, I know we had capacity to pick up anybody in Nigeria who commit crime anywhere. The capacity that we didn’t have then, is after we have identified and located such a criminal, we have no capacity to be able to pick him up without moving on land or by air.
“Now we have capacity. With drones, you can slip them off. You can take them out. Why are we not doing that? Why are we apologizing? Why are we negotiating?”.
