Nigerian activist and lawyer, Dele Farotimi, has accused the administration of late Muhammadu Buhari and the current government of President Bola Tinubu of enabling Fulani terrorists to overtake Nigeria.
PrimeTimes Nigeria reports that Farotimi made this known in an interview on State Affairs, a podcast hosted by Edmund Obilo.
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.
He said, “It is Buhari, the All Progressives Congress, APC, and Tinubu’s government that enabled Fulani terrorists to overtake Nigeria.
“The Nigerian state is so useless that at one time, an Assistant Commissioner of Police was murdered by a Fulani terrorist.
“The terrorist removed the uniform of the murdered senior police officer, wore it and sat on the table with the government at a peace negotiation.
“It is the impunity that has extended to the Fulanis that has made it impossible to deal decisively with the madness that has overtaken us.”
Meanwhile, Farotimi recently raised concerns over how Godswill Akpabio became the Senate President, saying the process that led to his emergence is questionable.
Speaking during an interview on News Central, Farotimi said Akpabio’s rise to the top seat in the Senate points to deeper problems within Nigeria’s political and electoral system.
He argued that the system allows people, he believes, who do not meet the required standards to occupy important public offices.
