Omoyele Sowore, a presidential candidate for the African Action Congress (AAC), claimed on Sunday that President Muhammadu Buhari is unable to address the nation’s security issues.
The activist made this comment during an interview with Arise TV in response to the terrorists’ release of a video showing the victims of their March 28 attack on the passenger train between Abuja and Kaduna.
He claimed that the federal government couldn’t handle the level of insecurity.
He, therefore, charged the federal government to seek external support in the ongoing campaign against the terrorists and other criminals wreaking havoc in the country.
Sowore said: “Nigeria doesn’t have a capable government for maximum security. That’s why there is a persistent call for a change of leadership in the country. No president in the real sense of the term to give orders to the military and offer meaningful solutions.
“Beyond this, the insecurity is beyond us. It is high time we built collaboration in terms of seeking military help for safety. We can’t just continue to pretend under a president that doesn’t understand what the solution should be. Bringing mercenaries from outside to fight the threat is an urgent solution at the moment.”
