Jonathan under whom Boko Haram established a Caliphate in Northern Nigeria and terrorists were paid to protect oil wells points finger at Buhari

Former President Jonathan (L) and President Buhari (R)
CC™ FactorialJonathan urges Buhari to "come up with new ideas to solve Nigeria's security crisis". That would be akin to the pot calling the kettle black. The same Goodluck Jonathan that used the DSS to terrorize the Southwest (with the acquiescence of the same so-called Yoruba leaders who are now crying herdsmen at every turn), paid foreign former apartheid South African mercenaries to fight Boko Haram (while his Service Chiefs siphoned away every dime that was earmarked to help the Nigerian Armed Forces defend the country's territorial integrity) and enabled Niger-Delta terrorists like Tompolo et al by paying them to protect the oil pipelines (akin to asking a sexual predator to watch your children). For the avoidance of doubt, the Jonathan administration remains the worst and most corrupt in the history of Nigeria and most of the mess Nigeria is in today are carry-overs from that rudderless administration. Report below.....Former President Goodluck Jonathan says insecurity has worsened in Nigeria since he left Aso Rock. The former president said this while paying a condolence visit to Chief Reuben Fasoranti, the leader of Afenifere, a Yoruba socio-cultural group, whose daughter, Funke Olakunrin (nee Fasoranti), was killed by gunmen on the Benin-Ore road last week.Her death is another in a long list of killings and kidnappings that have gripped the country over the past year.While speaking on Tuesday, July 16, 2019, Jonathan, who was president between 2010 and 2015, said the government must figure out a solution to curb the rise of insecurity.He said, "The issue of security must be approached from a different dimension. We cannot continue the old way because it is getting out of hand. We hope the federal and state governments will do something about it."Every generation face problems and this generation must find ways to solve these problems. Every government faces problem. "The first commercial kidnapping, because it involved money, happened in 2006 when I was the governor of Bayelsa state. From that time, it moved to terrorism in the north. Now, it is a major problem in the country."The federal government in conjunction with state government must design a different approach to this issue. "I was there as president and security challenge was there but now, it is getting worse everyday and we can't continue to use the same old method."
