The Special Adviser to the Governor of Borno State on Media, Isa Gusau, disclosed that in the last two and a half years, the Borno State Government has spent close to 10billion Naira in rebuilding communities and villages that were burnt during different attacks.
He said that these funds that have been used could have been channelled into the state for other purposes, urging that the issue of Boko Haram is a national crisis that would require the Federal Government to deal with immediately.
Speaking on Channels Television Saturday Programme, Sunrise, Mr. Gusau said “some people are trying to sabotage the nation by using the armed forces against the government”, he further explained that the highly publicised statement by the State Governor, Kashim Shettima was a way of telling Government that the soldiers need to be more equipped.
He said that there was need for the Nigerian security agencies to change security strategy and realize that “our enemies are getting much stronger.”
Gusau added that the problem of insurgency in Nigeria has been caused by leadership and lack of corporation, revealing that a lot of evolutions are going on in the military status.
He further advised that the government should yield to its responsibility in tacking the insurgency plaguing the country, especially in the North.
