Insurgency worsens under Buhari - Ekweremadu

Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu says
insurgency has worsened since the inauguration of
the present administration. He said Boko haram was
already being rolled out of Nigeria before the
elections but surprisingly they have increased their
attacks and spread to other parts of Nigeria
"I am worried about the insurgence of the
Boko Haram activities in Nigeria. Shortly
before the inauguration of the present
government, the country had almost rolled
back Boko Haram and its activities in every
part of Nigeria, from Adamawa to Borno to
Yobe. I was hoping that when we come back
in the 8th Assembly, that I will work with our
colleagues from the North-East to develop a
plan of action that will help to rehabilitate
that part of Nigeria. I feel so concerned about
the suffering of our people from the North-
East of Nigeria. I had hoped that by now we
would be tasking ourselves on how best to
rebuild that part of Nigeria. Regrettably the
actions of Boko Haram seems to have
resurfaced now not only in Borno, they have
carried out their activities also in Plateau, they
have gone to Adamawa, Kaduna. I am worried
that if nothing is done, the next target would
be Abuja. Maybe they start going to South. It
is important for us as those in government,
whether Executive or Legislature, to come
together to find solutions to these problems."
