President Muhammadu Buhari seems to have given up on the frightening insecurity ravaging the Nation, especially the porous Nigeria borders with its neighbour, Niger Republic.
The President of said only God can effectively “supervise” the border Nigeria shares with the Republic of Niger.
A statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, said the President spoke while receiving in audience former Vice President Namadi Sambo, who heads ECOWAS Election Mission to the Republic of Niger.
Buhari said, “I come from Daura, few kilometers to Republic of Niger, so I should know a bit about that country.
“The President is quite decent, and we are regularly in touch. He is sticking to the maximum term prescribed by the Constitution of his country.
“Also, we share more than 1,400 kilometers of border with that country, which can only be effectively supervised by God.
“I will speak with the President, and offer his country our support. We need to do all we can to help stabilise the Sahel Region, which is also in our own interest.”
Not a few Nigerians have criticised the unprecedented porous border between the two countries, and have alleged that Buhari seems to have an uncanny interest in anything that could develope Niger Republic.
