Buhari Making Banditry, Kidnapping, Flourishing, Business – Ezekwesili |The Source

By Akinwale Kasali

Social Commentator and Former Minister for Education, Obiageli Ezekwesili has lent her voice to the ongoing Banditry and kidnapping in the country worrisome.

The 2019 Presidential Candidate accused the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration of giving bandits a friendly treatment that has seen the flourishing of the banditry and kidnapping industry.

Ezekwesili said this while condemning the abduction of 27 Kagara students from Niger State.

She said that a strange incestuous relationship now exists between the Government and abductors, which has crippled the Government from wielding the big stick.

She added that the friendship has enabled the industry of abduction to flourish in Nigeria on basic market principles of demand and supply.

Taking a swipe at the Government, Ezekwesili said she hoped the students remain safe until President Muhammadu Buhari ‘reaches out to the abductors’.

Ezekwesili took to her Twitter handle and wrote: “Still no positive development on the Kagara students abduction, @NigeriaGov? Truly disastrous that Education is now under the daily threat of barbarism.

“May God keep them safe until President Buhari reaches out to their abductors as he did for #KankaraBoys in Katsina.
