“My father, my mother,
my wife, our four children were shot, killed and burnt.”
This cry of horror by a survivor of the Fulani
herdsmen massacre of innocent people in Plateau State
calls to question the sincerity or competence of the President of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari to provide security for Nigerians. President Buhari during his campaign for 2015
Presidential Election promises to improve on fragile security in the land then
among other campaign promises.
*President Buhari |
However, since his coming to power, we cannot say that the nation has had a
relief from insecurity. All his efforts and that of his service chiefs are like
taken one step forward and two backward which leads to nowhere in particular.
In fairness to Buhari, the killings in Nigeria
predated his administration. Whether killings by Boko Haram, insurgents, Fulani
herdsmen, or ethic militants all these have been happening before Buhari came
to power.
