Former military Head of State and leader of the All Progressives
Congress (APC) retired Gen. Muhammadu Buhari yesterday described the
sustained attacks in parts of the North as a ploy by President
Goodluck Jonathan and his allies Western countries to destabilize
Nigeria.
Speaking in Katsina during a condolence visit to victims of the recent
violence in Faskari and Sabuwa LGAs, General Muhammadu Buhari urged
residents to help security agents expose the perpetrators.
He said: “President Goodluck Jonathan and his allies are trying to
destabilize Nigeria, beginning with the North. They started with
Borno, Kano and now they got to Katsina and Kaduna. So what is
remaining?” Buhari said the attacks are terrorist acts that transcend
religious and ethnic connotation as no group is spared.
“Since security agents have realized that the whole thing is
presumptuous, residents must unite and help in unmasking those behind
these attacks”, he said, urging people to report suspicious persons
and movements to security agents. He commiserated with victims of the
attacks which claimed several lives and prayed for the restoration of
peace in the country, while also making donations to victims.
