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.
Vanguard reports that Farotimi revealed this 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.
“It is Buhari, the All Progressives Congress, APC and Tinubu’s government that allowed Fulani terrorists to take over Nigeria.”
“The Nigerian state is so useless that at a time, a Fulani terrorist killed an Assistant Commissioner of Police.
“The terrorist removed the uniform of the slain senior police officer, donned it and sat with the government at a peace negotiation on the table.
“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 raised concerns over how Godswill Akpabio became the Senate President, saying the process that brought him to the position is questionable.
Farotimi, who spoke in an interview on News Central, said Akpabio’s rise to the apex of the Senate reveals deeper problems within 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.
