Insecurity: Buhari Govt Worst In Nigeria History, Says Ex CBN Dep. Gov.
- This is the worst time ever in the history of Nigeria.
- World powers want to destroy Nigeria
Obadiah Mailafia, a former deputy governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), says Nigeria has never witnessed the level of unrest and insecurity that plagues the nation since becoming a sovereign nation.
Speaking on Wednesday when he featured on Channels TV programme, mailafia said Nigeria was a lot safer under Abacha than under Buhari administration.
Abacha was Nigeria’s military ruler from 1993 to 1998, and his administration was notorious for oppression, highandedness, draconian decree, economic sabotage, grand larceny and execution political opponents and dissent..
The former CBN governor is popular for making unverifiable claims and controversial remarks
His statement coming on the heels of attack on Samuel Ortom, governor of Benue state.
Gunmen suspected to be herdsmen had attacked Ortom last Saturday while he was on his farm, near Markudi, the state capital.
Reacting to the incident, Mailafia said the attack on Ortom as an attack on the people of Benue, adding that those behind the assassination attempt need to know there are consequences for their actions.
“This attempt on the life of an executive governor and incumbent of a state is an attempted attack on the entire people of the state. Those who are trying to do this wicked thing need to understand the implication of what they are trying to do,” he said.
“If the governor of a state cannot feel safe to go to his farm, how will the ordinary Benue people feel going to their farms? This is a very bad precedent. The circumstances in Borno are very different. Borno is a war zone, we’ve been living with these evil people for a while but what happened in Benue is totally different and diabolical. We don’t know what they are trying to do but this could affect the whole country.”
He said some world powers want to destroy Nigeria by turning different parts of the country against each other.
“This is totally unprecedented. This is the worst time ever in the history of Nigeria. You can’t even compare with Abacha’s time; Abacha’s time was a golden era compare with what is happening. You think Abacha would have tolerated all these? You can’t travel on these roads, killings everywhere, destructions everywhere,” he said.
“World powers want to destroy Nigeria and what they have done is to come and meet some people and tell them, ‘You are born to rule’. There is an agenda (ex-President Olusegun) Obasanjo called Fulanisation and enforcement of one particular religion against the rest.”
