Nigeria: Governors Can’t Sit Back After Winning Elections and Expect People do Their Jobs For Them, Buhari Says

Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari has hit out at some state governors demanding they sit up and handle the worsening insecurity in their respective states.

The Nigerian leader stated this on Thursday when he granted ARISE News an exclusive interview. He said that the governors who are having security issues in their states should not just sit back after winning elections and expect people to do their jobs for them.

advised that governors revert to the traditional ways of tackling insecurity by involving traditional institutions that are very effective and community leaders at the local level.

According to the President, the governors should be able to tackle these security situations because they have “very effective traditional institutions” and security systems at the state and local levels.

  • You need to go back home to rest Mr, President. You are incoherent on your discussion. Realize now that you have health problem. Please leave to save Nigeria, if there is still love of the country in you. The time is now to leave.
