‘Buhari, Tinubu Govt Enabled Fulani Terrorists To Overtake Nigeria’ – Farotimi

Nigerian activist and lawyer, Dele Farotimi has accused the government of late Muhammadu Buhari and present government of President Bola Tinubu for allowing Fulani terrorists to take over Nigeria.

Farotimi disclosed this in an interview on State Affairs, a podcast hosted by Edmund Obilo, reports Vanguard.

Speaking on the worsening security bedevilling the country, Farotimi faulted the government, stressing that the impunity that has extended to the Fulanis has made it impossible to deal decisively with the situation.

“It is Buhari, the All Progressives Congress, APC, and Tinubu’s government that allowed Fulani terrorists to overrun Nigeria,” he said.

“The Nigerian state is so useless that at a time, a Fulani terrorist killed an Assistant Commissioner of Police.

“The terrorist took off the uniform of the slain senior police officer, put it on and sat on the table with the government at a peace negotiation.

“It is the impunity that has spread to the Fulanis that has made it impossible to deal decisively with the madness that has overtaken us.”

Meanwhile, Farotimi had recently expressed concerns over how Godswill Akpabio emerged as the Senate President, saying the process that led to his emergence is questionable.

Farotimi, in an interview on News Central, said Akpabio’s ascension to the top seat in the Senate exposes deeper problems in Nigeria’s political and electoral system.

He said the system allows people who he believes do not meet the required standards to hold important public offices.
